Question

Choose the Dark Forest for your selection Experiment

	Percent Dark Moths	Percent Light Moths
Sooty Forest	65%	35%

1. What was the gene frequency for the m allele before selection in this simulation? (Remember p²+ 2pq+ q²= 1)

2. What would be the genotype frequencies before selection?

MM:

Mm:

mm:

3. What was the frequency of the m allele after selection?

Answer 1

Before selection =underroot 35/ 100=Underroot 0.35 =0.59

thus acc to hardy equillibrium

M= 1-0.59=0.41

mm=0.41x0.41=0.1681

Mm=2x0.41x0.59=0.4838

MM= 0.59x0.59=0.3481

after selection =0.1681+1/2x0.4838/100

= 0.41
