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?

Need help with the question below ? 

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
