Calculate the allele frequencies

In the case of a locus with two alleles, P is the frequency of AA, H is the frequency of Aa, and Q is the frequency of aa. As with gene frequencies, genotype frequencies must sum to 1:

P + H + Q = 1

Given a population having the genotypic frequencies of

P = 0.64, H = 0.32, and Q = 0.04. Calculate the allele frequencies.
