    Answer:Red is 91%, white is 9%

    Explanation:3000-270 = 2730 red in percentage is 2730/3000 * 100/1 = 91%

    White is 270/3000*100/1 = 9%.

    Allele frequency or gene frequency is the relative frequency of an allele expressed as a fraction or percentage.

    270/3000=0.09

    p + q = 1

    So p + 0.09 = 1

    p = 0.91

    Red eye: 0.91

    White eye: 0.09
