1) Suppose that a certain population of 100 individuals possesses two alleles (A and B) at a certain locus, and initially consists of the following numbers of genotypes: AA = 9, AB = 42, BB= 49.
a) Calculate the initial frequencies of alleles A and B.
b) Now suppose that 16 individuals with genotype BB do not survive to reproduce. Calculate the new allele frequencies among the remaining individuals that do reproduce. Assuming that these remaining individuals mate randomly, calculate the new genotype frequencies in the next generation. Use the following headings to organize your calculations.
