How do I calculate question 9?
Genetics This is about a squirrel population at RSU reserve. The population distribution among squirrel genotypes were 490 (AA: dark colored). 420 (Aa: gray colored), and 90 (aa: light colored). The vival rates until reproductive age of AA, AB, and aa genotype are 40%, 80% and 60% (1) What are the genotypic frequencies of AA, Aa, and aa? 000 000 100o (2) What are the allele frequencies of A and a? l 0oo looo 7)x100d 26.7).) (3) What are the relative fitness values of the three genotypes? (4) Explain the meaning of relative fitness value of Aa in relation to AA and aa. (5) What is the mean fitness value of the population? (6) What would be the genotypie frequencies of AA, Aa, and aa after one generation? n35 7 7 (7) What would be the allele frequencies of A and a after one generation? 17 (8) What happened to the A allele ffequency after one gene ration to that of previous generation?

Answer #1

8. According to. Hardy equilibrium law allele frequency remain constant after one generation .

9.At equilibrium stage the sum of allele frequency will be 1 so p+ q = 1.

    Sickle-cell anaemia is an example of how fitness depends on environmental conditions. In places where malaria, caused by Plasmodium falciparum is common, HbAHbS heterozygotes have a selective advantage compared to individuals who are homozygotes for the wild type allele. However, HbSHbS homozygotes suffer from sickle-cell anaemia and usually die before producing offspring. The relative fitness (w) of the three genotypes in Nigeria are: HbAHbA 0.78, HbAHbS 1.0 HbSHbS 0.07 a. What is the mathematical relationship between relative fitness and selection...

    Problem Description: A gene with two alleles (e.g. A and a) is responsible for a dominant trait in Hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis). AA individuals have a normal phenotype, while those with aa lack the trait. Heterozygotes have phenotypes that are identical to AA individuals. Although aa individuals have lower survivorship (15%) than those with the “normal” trait (35%), they have higher fecundity over their lifetime (100 individuals for aa; compared to 48 for AA and Aa). Assume the allele frequency of...

    Question 1: Antibiotics are effective against a population of bacteria. However, you observe a new resistance allele arises in the bacteria population. You observe the fitness of the mutant is 1% higher than the wild type and the population size (N) of the bacteria is 106. A) How long does it take for the resistance allele to reach fixation? Hint: The fixation time is defined as the time from a single copy of the resistance allele (1/N) to near fixation...
