    Answer: 48%

    Because the population is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium, that means the sum of m and n alleles frequency would be 1

    If m is 0.4, then n would be:

    m+n=1

    0.4+n=1

    n=0.6

    The frequency of organism with heterozygote genotype would be:

    2 * m * n = 2 * 0.4 * 0.6=0.48=48%
