Question

Roanoke Island, North Carolina has also experienced an enormous bloom in its Mus musculus population. These mice exhibit only two coat color morphs; a grey agouti coloration and a solid white coloration. These coat colors are controlled at a single autosomal gene locus, with the agouti allele exhibiting complete dominance; A = agouti. a = white (Assume p = A and q = a). The mouse population is large, randomly mating, and not subject to selection, migration or mutation. A population geneticist is hired to assess the mouse population. By random sampling of 1200 mice, 957 are found to be agouti. The island residents decide to control their mouse problem by introducing 1500 cats to the island. The cats are excellent predators. However, they have mixed success in catching mice. Based on cat predation, the geneticist determines the fitness for white and agouti mice at 0.0 and 1.0, respectively. What was the frequency for qo in the mouse population on Roanoke Island? What was the frequency for q1 in the mouse population after predation by the cats? What was the frequency for q in the F5 generation of mice? What was the Δq from the F6 generation to the F7 generation in the mouse population? What was the frequency of q in the F15 generation of mice?
