Compute the frequency of the allele for melanism

Reference no: EM13177169

In a population of ladybugs, a less frequent allele that produces melanic form (dark wings) is dominant over the common wild type red color allele. In a sample of the population, 19 beetles were melanic and 81 were red. Assuming equilibrium, calculate the frequency of the allele for melanism (use the symbol "p" for this allele).
