Question:

In a survey of moths collected from a natural population, a researcher found 51 dark specimens and 49 light pecimens. The dark moths carry a dominant allele, and the light moths are homozygous for a recessive allele. If the population is in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, what is the estimated frequency of the recessive allele in the population? How many of the dark moths in the sample are likely to be homozygous for the dominant allele?
