if a poplulation of 2000 is at genetic equilibrium but contains only 180 individuals with the recessive phenotype (rr), what is the expected frequency of the recessive allele (r) nine genration later?

If q^2 = 180/2000, then q = 0.3
At H-W equilibrium, it will remain 0.3 forever.

If this population is at equilibrium, the frequency of the recessive allele should not change -- 180/2000 = 90/1000 = 0.09 now and 0.09 later.

I need to look at the equation. Like Schwarzneger, I'll be back!
