okay here are the results:

41.3% of the surveyed population carries the dominant allele for rolling their tongue, while 58.7% of the population carries the recessive allele for being unable to

in terms of the alleles for tongue rolling, 17.1% of the population are homozygous dominant (AA), 34.5% are homozygous recessive (aa), and 48.4% are heterozygous (Aa)

thanks guys

How did you figure out whether those who carried the tongue-rolling gene carried one copy of the allele or two copies?
p + q = 1
p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

p=frequency of the dominant allele within population
q=frequency of the recessive allele within population

p^2=percent of population that is homozygous dominant (two dominant alleles)
q^2=percent of population that is homozygous recessive (two recessive alleles)
2pq=percent of population that is heterozygous (one dominant allele, one recessive allele)
