Red-green color blindness is an X-linked trait. In a population genetics study, 1,000 people (500 men and 500 women) were tested for this trait, and 35 men were found to be color blind

Use this information to compute the frequency of the allele for color blindness and the wild-type allele in this population, and estimate the expected number of carrier females.
