Answer

Answer: c) 0.67
Explanation: Given that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of allele G can be determined directly from the frequency of the gray moths. If the gray moths include both GG and Gg, the frequency of the dominant allele G can be calculated using allele frequency formulas and equilibrium principles. For typical scenarios, this value is usually around 0.67.
