Imagine a population 528 individual plants.  In this population, 4 % of the plants produce red flowers, and 9 % produce pink flowers. The remaining plants produce white flowers. Flower colour is attributed to a single locus with two  alleles. Red flowers are produced by plants that are homozygote for the R  allele.  White flowers are produced by plants that are homozygote for the W allele. Heterozygotes (RW)  produce pink flowers.  What is the expected (under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium) number plants producing pink flowers in this population? Round your answer to the closest full number.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
