Please help me with genetics?

What is the value of H (heterozygosity) for a population of pupfish in Hardy-Weinberg

Equilibrium for a microsatellite locus that has 8 alleles and the following frequencies of

homozygotes in the population: A1A1 = 0.01, A2A2 = 0.01, A3A3 = 0, A4A4 = 0.05,

A5A5 = 0.07, A6A6 = 0.01, A7A7 = 0.02, A8A8 = 0.03?

If you could explain this to me it would really help - this is NOT my homework - I am reviewing for a test!! Thank you

    The total portion of homozygotes is

    0.01 + 0.01 + 0 + 0.05 + 0.07 + 0.01 + 0.02 + 0.03 = 0.20

    The remainder of the population must be heterozygoes. 1 -0.2 = 0.8

    If the baby is uncovered to both cultures, they'll advance as a lot as be self positive round black people or white people.they'll be happy with who they're. I have seen white ladies have biracial little ones and raised them uncovered to whites in simple terms. it extremely is even as the baby develops insecurities about themselves. they don't like their hair, they don't opt for to artwork at the same time with black people, because they imagine it truly is extra perfect to be all white, I have seen this commonplace hand.My grandsons are biracial and they are happy with who they're because they have been taught that they arrive from a good , proud, smart, black lower back floor! hence even as they do encounter racism they stand tall and comprehend that this human being is in simple terms ignorant!
