H to the Weezy

In a population of 1000 specimens, 21% contain the recessive trait.
The homozygous recessive individual is .21 (q2)
The homozygous dominant individual is .29 (p2)
The heterozygous individual is .50
Frequency of dominant allele is .46
Frequency of recessive allele is . 54

Based of this information, 460 individuals have the recessive trait

Three possible genotypes:
Homozygous dominant individual (p²) = 290 (multiply .29 by 1000)
Homozygous recessive individual (q²) = 460 (multiply .21 by 1000)
Heterozygous individual (2pq) = 500 (multiply .50 by 1000
