All frequencies can be calculated.

In a population of wildflowers, the red allele is

Of the 500 total plants in the population, 20 are

1000 total (500 plants with 2 alleles each = 1000 total)
•
r = 20 + 20 + 160 = 200 alleles

R = 320 + 320 + 160 = 800 alleles

In a population

Of the 500 total
•
800/1000 = p = frequency of dominant “R” allele = 0.8
•
200/1000 = q = frequency of recessive “r” allele = 0.2
•
Check: p + q = 1 and 0.8 + 0.2 = 1
