(p+q)2 = p2 + 2pq+q2 = 1 Where:
p = the frequency of allele A
q= the frequency of allele a
P^2= the frequency of individual AA
q^2 = the frequency of individual aa
2pq = the frequency of individual Aa

Use the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium equation to answer the following:
Within a population of butterflies, the color brown (B) is dominant over the color
white (b). And, 40% of all butterflies are white. Given this information calculate the
following:
1. The frequency of butterflies in the population that are heterozygous.
