p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
where:
p is the frequency of the dominant allele
q is the frequency of the recessive allele
We are given that 28 organisms are p.
This means that the frequency of the p allele is:
p = 28 / 56 = 0.5
We can then use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to solve for q:
q^2 = 1 - p^2
q^2 = 1 - 0.5^2
q^2 = 0.75
q = 0.866
Therefore, the frequency of the recessive allele is 0.866.
