Can someone PLEASE explain how this makes sense The inputted
Can someone PLEASE explain how this makes sense. The inputted genotype frequencies are NOT THE SAME as the ones calculated for in the second part. Why couldnt he just use F(AA)=p^2 TO BEGIN WITH? Then it would have returned ACCURATE genotype frequencies. PLEASE HELP I AM DESPERATE.
Guppies (Poecilia reticulata) are small, brightly colored fish that are common in freshwater streams in Trinidad. Imagine that the coloration is controlled by two alleles at a given gene. On a sampling trip, a young ecologist collects the following: 200 Brown guppies (AA) 600 Red guppies (Aa) 200 Yellow guppies (aa) Assuming HW equilibrium, calculate the Pallele frequency& the F, genotype frequency of the guppy population. 0.5 0.5 (0.5) f(AA) p 0.25 2 (0.5 0.5) 0.50 0.25Solution
The frequency of AA individual will be p2 =200/1000=0.2
The frequency of Aa individuals will be 2pq= 600/1000=0.6
The frequency of aa individuals will be q2 =200/1000=0.2
The frequency of A allele =D +H/2= p2 + pq =0.2+0.3 =0.5
The frequency of a allele =R +H/2= p2 + pq =0.2+0.3 =0.5

If we total the columns for each offspring genotype and call the new genotypic frequencies D\', H\', and R\' we get:
D\' = D^2 + DH + H^2/4
H\' = DH + 2DR + H^2/2 + HR
R\' = H ^2/4 + HR + R^2
NEW FREQUENCIES
D\' = D^2 + DH + H^2/4 = (D + H/2)^2 = p^2
H\' = DH + 2DR + H^2/2 + HR = 2(D + H/2)(R + H/2) = 2pq
R\' = H2/4 + HR + R^2 = (R + H/2)^2 = q^2
