Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

This question provides information about the number of individuals with specific genotypes in a population. The genotype of an individual is the set of genes in its DNA responsible for a particular trait. The phenotype is the physical expression, or characteristics, of that trait. For example, two organisms that have the same genotype for a trait could have different phenotypes for that trait based on environmental factors and the interaction of other genes. We will be using the number of individuals of each genotype to calculate the number of alleles and their frequencies.
