                                        For my problem, the q2 that was given to me was .06. 

Now the steps I went through to solve my problem were: 

1. I had been given .06 as my q2, therefore I was able to find q. 
2. Once I found q I decided to use the formula 1-q=p to find p. 
3. When I reached to find p I then of course squared it to find p2. 
4. After I had found what the variables for p & q were I was able to find the heterozygous which is  2xpxq. 
5. After all that identification, I was able to contain the number of individuals by multiplying the homozygous recessive individual (q2), homozygous dominant individual (p2), and the heterozygous individual (2pq) by 1000 because that was the population.
6. I then looked at the results of number of of allies each factor had in terms of percentage.  

That is how I solved the problem, so therefore these were me calculations or results...

***Remember I was given p2 as .06 and theirs 1000 individuals in a population.

             q2= .06

             q= .245                   (1-q=p)

             p= .755.                   1-.245=.755=P

             p2= .5700.        

             2pq= .36995

      

                                                                   # of individuals:

                                                q2- 1000(.06)= 60 homo. recessive individuals

                                                p2- 1000(.5700)= 570.0 homo. dominant individual

                                                2pq- 1000(.36995)= 369.95 as 370 heterozygous individuals

     

                                                             60+570+370= 1000 individuals in population. 

                                                                       # of alleles:

                                                     24.5% of the alleles are recessive

                                                     75.5% of the alleles are dominant

                                                     6% of the alleles are homozygous recessive 

                                                     57% of the alleles are homozygous dominant 

                                                     37% of the alleles are heterozygous
