Question

A population of size 100 in linkage equilibrium has the following allele frequencies: (A) = 1.0, (B) = 0.4, (b) = 0.6. If a mutation from (A) to new allele (a) occurs in one individual on a chromosome containing a (B) allele, what will the disequilibrium coefficient be?

          A population of size 100 in linkage equilibrium has the
following allele frequencies: (A) = 1.0, (B) = 0.4, (b) = 0.6. If a
mutation from (A) to new allele (a) occurs in one individual on a
chromosome containing a (B) allele, what will the disequilibrium
coefficient be?

Step 1

0 (initial frequency) - (a) = 1/100 = 0.01 (mutation occurred in one individual out of 100) - (B) = 0.4 (initial frequency) - (b) = 0.6 (initial frequency) ** Show more…
