Question

A population contains two alleles, X and Y , with 99% of the population initially having allele X and 1% having allele Y . The mutation rate from X to Y is 2% per generation, and the mutation rate from Y to X is 1% per generation.

Several generations of population X have been studied. The dominant allele frequency for the second generation of population X was calculated to be 0.31. The tenth generation for population X has been collected and the dominant allele frequency is 0.45. Is population X evolving?

If the forward mutation rates for two alleles at a locus is 0.0001 and the reverse mutation rate is 0.00004 per generation, and the allele frequencies for the dominant and recessive alleles are p = 0.8 and q = 0.2, respectively, then the net change in the allele frequency of the recessive allele per generation due to mutation is _____..

00:01 The given information tells that the frequency of x is 0 .31, which is in the second generation, so the second generation, while x is a dominant allele.
00:27 Now, after a time period of several generations, this frequency of x becomes 0 .45, that is in the during the 10th generation.
00:54 So the clear math over here is that we can see that there is an increase in the frequency of the gene by frequency of allele by 0 .14.
01:19 So this is the net increase...
