Imagine the Following Genotype Frequencies in a Population: P² =

question 82

Multiple Choice

Imagine the following genotype frequencies in a population: p² = 0.49, 2pq = 0.42, q² = 0.09. Now assume that there is nonrandom mating where individuals with one genotype will only mate with individuals that also have their genotype. Assume this pattern of mating goes on until the frequency of heterozygotes is effectively zero. In addition, there is also inbreeding depression such that individuals with the genotype represented by p² die before they can reproduce. What will be the frequency of allele q?

• A)0)3
• B)0)7
• C)0)91
• D)0)49
• E)1)0
