We have allele frequencies of A04 a06 Imagine we remove AL

We have allele frequencies of : A=0.4 , a=0.6

Imagine we remove ALL HETEROZYGOTES from the equilibrium population.

a) What are the new allele frequencies?

b) What will the NEW equilibrium genotype frequencies be next year?

Solution

p² + 2pq + q²

A=p, and a=q

a) If we remove ALL HETEROZYGOTES from the equilibrium population, the new allele frequencies will be for AA=0.4X.4=0.16 and for aa=0.6X0.6=0.36. The 1 is the frequency of the three possible genotypes. The frequency 2pq of the heterozygote Aa =2X.4X.6=.48

b) NEW equilibrium genotype frequencies be next year is AA, aa, Aa.
