In squirrels, the gray allele (G) is dominant to the brown allele (g) at the coat c locus. A population of 142 squirrels in Pullen Park was scored for the coat colo locus. The frequency of the gray allele was found to be 0.8. Due to constructi NC State, 27 NC State squirrels migrated to Pullen Park. The frequency of the allele in the NC State squirrels was 0.53. The squirrels mated randomly to forn progeny generation at Pullen Park. Assuming that no further migration occurre that all other conditions for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were met, what is the frequency of the gray allele in the progeny generation at Pullen Park? Round yo answer properly to 4 decimal digits.

Question
In squirrels, the gray allele (G) is dominant to the brown allele (g) at the coat color
locus. A population of 142 squirrels in Pullen Park was scored for the coat color
locus. The frequency of the gray allele was found to be 0.8. Due to construction at
NC State, 27 NC State squirrels migrated to Pullen Park. The frequency of the gray
allele in the NC State squirrels was 0.53. The squirrels mated randomly to form a
progeny generation at Pullen Park. Assuming that no further migration occurred and
that all other conditions for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were met, what is the
frequency of the gray allele in the progeny generation at Pullen Park? Round your
answer properly to 4 decimal digits.
