Explanation:
It is given that, the population frequency of dominant allele (p) is 0.7. Hence, the population frequency of recessive allele (q) will be 1 - 0.3 = 0.7.
We know that p
2
+ 2pq + q
2
= 1, where p
2
is frequency of homozygous dominant phenotype, 2pq is frequency of heterozygous dominant phenotype and q
2
is frequency of homozygous recessive phenotype.
Hence, frequency of homozygous dominant phenotype (p
2
) will be 0.7
2
= 0.49.
Thus, the correct answer is '0.49.'
