A species of daisy has hermaphroditic flowers (i.e., each flower produces both male and female gametes). Researchers genotyped 1,000 individuals at the same locus (a SNP) in three populations. The numbers of each genotype in each population can be observed in the table below. For each population, calculate the allele frequencies and determine whether the population is currently at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Show your work. Genotype Population 1 Population 2 Population 3 TT 90 200 100 TC 420 150 550 CC 490 650 350
