How to solve a Hardy-Weinberg problem?

To solve a Hardy-Weinberg problem, you need to use the formula p2 2pq q2 1, where p and q represent the frequencies of two alleles in a population. First, determine the allele frequencies using the given information. Then, use the formula to calculate the expected genotype frequencies. Compare the expected and observed genotype frequencies to determine if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
