Zoology - Evolution Question with Solution | TestHub

According to Hardy Weinberg's equation,$\mathrm{p}+\mathrm{q}=1$, where p is the frequency of the dominant allele and q is the frequency of recessive allele in the population. In the given data, 36 cats are white. They have to be pure homozygous individuals have recessive alleles. Thus$q^2=36/100$and$q=0.6$. Thus$\mathrm{p}=1\mathrm{ }–\mathrm{ }0.6=0.4$
