Alright so basically I'm doing grade 12 U Biology in order to upgrade before heading to college, although im entirely stuck on how to this. I remember doing punnet squares in grade 11 but this just seems a little complex, and the text books really don't help that much.
And here's the questions I am stuck on. I'm totally lost. Like I tried it out and to find 2pq I didnt end up with 1.
26. A population has two alleles, B and b. The allele frequency of B is 0.73. What is the heterozygotes frequency, if the population is in the H-W equilibrium? (10 marks)
Marking guide
Calculation indicate that heterozygotes frequency, if the population is equal to 2pq in the Hardy=Weinberg equation (2 Marks)
Substitutes correct number into equation "p+q=1" ( 2 marks)
Obtains correct result using equation "p+q=1" (2 marks)
Obtains correct final result (2 marks)
States the final result in a meaningful sentence (2 marks)
27.
a) Using the data in the data in the diagram provided in figure 14.4 of a theoretical bacterial or insect species, graph the phenotypes of the resistant and non-resistant forms over the three generations a), c), and e).
b ) Calculate the p and q frequencies for each of the three generation's starting populations, assuming the resistant allele is recessive.

Marking guide
Accurately counts and then calculates the percentage of resistant and non-resistant forms in the three generations show in a), c), and e) of figure 14.4 (5 marks)
Correctly represents data from above calculations in graph form (5 marks)
Above graph has appropriate labels (1 mark)
Accuratly calculates the p and q frequencies of all three generations (3 x 3 =9 marks)
Heres the example from the text book
