Question

A gene has three alleles a1, a2 and a3. The mutation rate between these alleles is shown as below. If frequency of the alleles a1, a2 and a3 are 0.5,0.3 and 0.2 respectively, what would be their frequencies after 2 generations? The mutation rates are per allele per generation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Freq (Redheads) = 25/750 = 0.033 or 3.3 percent

Probability of a Redhead = 25/750, or 3.3 percent
