In domestic cats, the allele for short hair (L) is dominant and the allele for long hair (I) is recessive. You are studying a population of cats found on Aoshima Island and have determined that the frequency of the recessive long hair allele is p = 0.9. Use the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the following questions. p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 %3D • What is the frequency of the recessive allele for long hair? q = What percentage of cats on this island will have long hair?

In domestic cats, the allele for short hair (L) is dominant and the allele for long hair (I) is recessive. You are studying a population of cats found on Aoshima Island and have determined that the frequency of the recessive long hair allele is p 3 0.9. Use the equation for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the following questions. p² + 2pq + q? = 1 %3D •What is the frequency of the recessive allele for long hair? q = •What percentage of cats on this island will have long hair?
