In a Hardy-Weinberg population with two alleles, A and a, that are in equilibrium, the frequency of allele a is 0.1. What is the frequency of individuals with AA genotype?
A) 0.20
B) 0.32
C) 0.42
D) 0.81
E) Genotype frequency cannot be determined from the information provided.

The frequency of allele A can be calculated as 1 - 0.1 = 0.9. In a Hardy-Weinberg population, the frequency of the AA genotype is given by p^2, where p is the frequency of allele A. Therefore, the frequency of AA individuals is 0.9^2 = 0.81.
