Explanation & Answer

A. The percentage of butterflies in the population that are heterozygous.

.4 is the frequency of white (bb) butterflies. This is q2
taking the square root of .4 gives you q = .63

1-.63 = .37; this is p

2pq = .47 (number of heterozygotes)

B. The frequency of homozygous dominant individuals. p2 = .14
