Ernesto Gates · Answer 1

Dogs with genotype CC ⇒ 1, 1.0

Dogs with genotype Cc ⇒ 20, 20.0

Dogs with genotype cc ⇒ 89, 89.0

Elyse Beltran · Answer 2

The hardy-weinberg equation is

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

where are already given with

c = 0.1 and C = 0.9

SO

p2 = 0.9^2

p2 = 0.81

q2 = 0.01

0.81 + 2pq - 0.01 = 1

2pq = 0.18

The answers are

CC = 0.81

cc = 0.01

Cc = 0.18
