Question

The genetic inheritance of blue eye color in humans behaves a lot like a simple recessive trait, though in truth, eye color is actually controlled by multiple alleles. As a simple model, assume that eye color is controlled by a single gene, where the allele, B, for brown eyes is completely dominant over the allele, b, for blue eyes. Given that a population's dominant allele frequency, p, is twice the recessive allele frequency, q, what percent of the population will have brown eyes but will still carry the blue eye allele?
