3. A population that has historically had a system of mating where everyone marries their cousin (f = 0.25) at the AFL1 locus has recently connected with the outside world where everyone mates randomly. How many generations of random mating are required to generate f = 0 at the AFL1 locus if the S allele frequency at this locus is 0.6?
Added by Megan A.
Step 1
Given that the S allele frequency at the AFL1 locus is 0.6, we can calculate the initial frequency of the AFL1 locus in the population using the formula: f = 2pq where f is the frequency of the recessive allele (s), p is the frequency of the dominant allele Show more…

The frequency of allele $A$ in a population is 0.8 , and the frequency of allele $a$ is $0.2 .$ If the population mates randomly with respect to this locus, give all the possible matings among the genotypes at this locus and the expected proportion of each type of mating.

In a population, the frequency of the blue eye allele is 0.53. What is the expected frequency of individuals with blue eyes (an autosomal recessive phenotype) after one generation of mating between first cousins (F=0.25)? Enter your answer to the nearest 0.01.

Inbreeding in a population causes a deviation from Hardy-Weinberg expectations such that there are more homozygotes than expected. For a locus with a rare deleterious allele at a frequency of $0.04,$ what would be the frequency of homozygotes for the deleterious allele in populations with inbreeding coefficients of $F=0.0$ and $F=0.125 ?$
