H-Weezy Problem

Population Size: 1000
Step 1 : q²=.01     Homozygous recessive individual   Step 2:  q=0.1      Homozygous recessive allele          
    Step 3:  p=0.9   homozygous dominant    allele                                                           
    Step 4: p²=0.81   homozygous dominant                                       individual
    Step 5: 2pq= 2(0.9)(0.1)=.18  heterozygous                                                 individual     
    Step 6:  .18(1000)=180 
                 180 heterozygous individuals
    Step 7:  .01(1000)=10   
                 10 homozygous recessive individuals
    Step 8:  .81(1000)=810
                 810 homozygous dominant individuals
