In a particular species of cat white fur is recessive to black fur. In a population of 200 cats 18 have white fur and 182 have black fur. Assume the population is in Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium. How many of the black cats are homozygous dominant?

If you think you're good at biology then you should be able to get the answer.

I've never taken a biology course.

110.

not simple algebra, simple probability:
answer = 98

How is it in H-W equilibrium if only 18 cats have white fur

HOW
