Step 2: Calculate q
The number of homozygous recessive individuals is q2, NOT q. To find q, take the square root of q2.
Step 3: Calculate p
Once you haveq,findingpis easy! The sum of the frequencies of both alleles must equal 1. Step 4: Use p and q to calculate the remaining genotypes I always suggest that you calculate q2even though that's what you started with. Realize that
