Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the allele frequencies given: frequency of allele C (p) = 0.7 and frequency of allele c (q) = 0.3.
Recall that under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotype frequencies can be calculated using the formula: \(p^2\) for CC, \$2pq\( for Cc, and \)q^2$ for cc.
Since we want the frequency of the cc genotype, focus on calculating \(q^2\).
Calculate \(q^2\) by squaring the frequency of allele c: \(q^2 = (0.3)^2\).
The result of \(q^2\) gives the expected frequency of the cc genotype in the population under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
