Determining frequency of the recessive allele

Reference no: EM1397875

You are studying a single gene locus with two alleles in a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Examination of a large sample of individuals from the population reveals there is six times as many heterozygote as homozygote recessive individuals in this populaion. What is the frequency of the recessive allele?
