What is the frequency of the q1 allele based on the following gamete frequencies: x1 = A1B1 = 0.40 x2 = A1B2 = 0.10 x3 = A2B1 = 0.20 x4 = A2B2 = 0.30 0.6 0.4 0.3 0.1 0.1
Added by Carrie B.
Step 1
The q1 allele is present in the A1B2 and A2B2 gametes. So, the frequency of the q1 allele is the sum of the frequencies of A1B2 and A2B2 gametes. q1 frequency = x2 (A1B2) + x4 (A2B2) = 0.10 + 0.30 = 0.40 Show more…

Consider a population of 100 individuals and the frequency of the A allele is 0.6 and the frequency of the a allele is 0.4. If the following fitness values for each genotype are applied to the next generation, what will be the frequency of the A allele in the next generation? wAA = 0.25 wAa = 1 waa = 0.25
