Does Natural Selection affect individuals or populations? EXPLAIN.

Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others.

the hardy-weinberg equation is as follows:

where is homozygous dominant, 2pq is heterozygous, and is recessive.

we also know that:

so since we know that homozygous dominant is 0.53, we can solve for p:

so then we can solve for q:

so then we can solve for the heterozygous term:

so now we know that the percentage of the population that should be heterozygous is 39.6%.
