Suppose Variants at a Single Locus Affect Wing Length in a Species

Suppose variants at a single locus affect wing length in a species of crickets, with homozygotes for the L allele having long wings, homozygotes for the l allele having short wings, and heterozygotes having wings of intermediate length.In one population of 600 individuals, 400 have long wings, 160 have intermediate-lengths wings, and 40 have short wings.What is the expected number of individuals with long wings under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

A) 216
B) 300
C) 384
D) 400
