1. Fixation of Dominant Alleles Start with a population that has a gene with two alleles (A and a) with classical Mendelian dominance that are at equal frequency (p0.5. q 0.5). Assume this first generation is at hardy Weinberg equilibrium. Calculate the genotype frequencies AA- a. Aa b. Now assume some environmental change that makes the recessive phenotype completely unfit (fitness- 0). Calculate the allele frequencies and genotype frequencies in the second generation. (Hint: Your calculations might be easier if...
