Question

In a population of 100 pea plants, 75% have purple flowers and 25% have white flowers. The purple flower allele is dominant over the white flower allele. If we the value $q$ to represent the frequency of the white flower allele in the Hardy-Weinberg equation, what is the correct value for $q$? 1.0 0.25 0.75 0.50
