    Answer;

    q = 80 percent

    Explanation;

    If a trait has two alleles, p and q, and p is 20% then we can find the percent of q.

    According to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium;

    p+q = 1

    Therefore;

    q = 1 - p

    but; p = 20% or 0.2

    Thus; q = 1 - 0.2

    = 0.8

    The percent of q is 80%
