Consider a population of T00 plants, In Hardy-Weinberg equibrium (p+ 2pg + 9=), In which flower color is determined by two alleles at a single gene. Homozygotes are eniher white or red, and heterozygotes are pink. Suppose a scientist counts 36 red flowers, 48 pink flowers, and 16 white flowers in a population of this plant. What is the frequency of the allele that confers red flower color? 0.16 0.36 0.50 0.60
