You collect 34 samples from a population called KNIGHTRO. Allele frequencies are: p=0.21 and q=0.79
If a new allele "r" arises in KNIGHTRO, what is the probability that this allele will reach fixation assuming the locus is neutral?
Homework Answers
Since the locus is neutral it is very unlikely it would reach fixation without any evolutionary force. Here , natural selection would not take place as the locus is neutral.
When the new allele r arises its frequency would be very less , as the frequency of others are very high. Thus, probability of this allele fixing is very unlikely.
It can only happen if genetic drift or mutational rate of this increases only then it would get fixed.
Please H THUMBSUP if i could help.

Determining if allele frequencies are changing from one generation to the next (microevolution) from the number of individuals of each genotype present: The following steps are used to determine if allele frequencies are changing: Calculate Allele frequency from the number of individuals of each genotype Calculate expected genotypic frequencies and individuals in a population from allele frequencies: Test the goodness of fit between the data and the Hardy Weinberg equilibrium model generated expectations. The following problems are the calculations used...

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...

5 Suppose that you have a large population (>100,000 individuals). At a neutral locus in this population, the allele frequencies are freq(A1) = 0.25, freq(A2) = 0.75. You sample that population to form 100 sub-populations of 20 individuals each. Over the next 40 generations, all these sub-populations go to fixation at that locus. Approximately how many go to fixation for allele A1 vs. allele A2? 75 at A1, 25 at A2 50 at A1, 50 at A2 25 at A1,...
