A species of daisy has hermaphroditic flowers (i.e., each flower produces both male and female gametes). Researchers genotyped 1,000 individuals at a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in three populations. The numbers of each genotype in each population were:

Genotype	Population 1	Population 2	Population 3
TT	90	200	50
TC	420	200	500
CC	490	600	450

a. For each population, calculate the allele frequencies and determine whether the population is currently at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

b. For populations not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, indicate whether there is an excess of homozygous or heterozygous genotypes

c. For populations not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, indicate how many generations of random mating it would take for the population to reach equilibrium.
