You are studying a population of snapdragon plants on Membata Island. In snapdragons, the dominant allele CR encodes red flowers and the recessive allele cW encodes white flowers. Plants with a heterozygous CRCW genotype have pink flowers. You have counted 10,000 snapdragon plants on Membata Island. You have recorded that 9025 plants have red flowers, 950 plants have pink flowers, and 25 plants have white flowers. If this population is at a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what are the values of p and q in this population? Show your calculations.
