A population follows Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The frequency of recessive allele (a) in the population is 0.3. The frequency of dominant allele (A) in the population is 0.7. What will be the frequency of heterozygous genotype in the next generation?

If the frequency of the recessive allele for a gene is 0.3, calculate the expected frequency of heterozygotes in the next generation if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
Adi S.
In a population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, a characteristic has two alleles, A and a. The frequency of allele a is 0.3. What is the frequency of the allele? What is the frequency of individuals with the genotype homozygous recessive? What is the frequency of individuals with the genotype heterozygous? After three generations, scientists determine the frequency of the allele is 0.5. Would you consider this population to still be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

In a population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in which the frequency of $A$ alleles $(p)$ is $0.3,$ the expected frequency of $A a$ individuals is a. 0.21 b. 0.42 c. 0.63 d. 0.18 e. 0.36
