The correct answer is:
0.48
According to the Hardy-Weinberg equation,
Where, Dominant allele frequency
Recessive allele frequency
Homozygous dominant genotype
Heterozygous genotype
Homozygous recessive genotype
Here, P = 0.6 and Q = 0.4
Therefore,
Where, Dominant allele frequency
Recessive allele frequency
Homozygous dominant genotype
Heterozygous genotype
Homozygous recessive genotype
Here, P = 0.6 and Q = 0.4
Therefore,
