Question

The goal of this exercise is to apply population genetics. The frequencies of AA, Aa, and aa genotypes in a chicken population are 0.2, 0.6 and 0.2 respectively.  

Answer the following questions and show your work supporting your answers:

2.1) [15 points] Provide the genotype and allele frequencies that will be present in the next generation if the previous population is mated to a second population that has for the genotypes AA, Aa, and aa frequencies 0.05, 0.6, and 0.35, respectively.  Calculations must be rounded to the thousandths (third decimal place).

2.2) [15 points] Consider random mating among theF1 offspring of the cross between the two populations described in question 2.1). Provide the gene and genotypic frequencies in F2. Calculations must be rounded to the thousandths (third decimal place).
