Explanation / Answer

AA= 0.49; Aa=0.42; aa=0.09

AA= 49%; Aa= 42% aa=9%

Highest reproductive success among the genotypes is for AA i.e. 49%

Wed divide the genotypic frequencies with highest frequency, we get relative fitness for each phenotype.

AA=1 as 49/49

Aa=42/49 = 0.85

aa=9/49= 0.18

As the gentic frequency of only aa changes, the relative fitness of only aa will change. It will be now 15/49=0.3

0.18(1-s)=0.3 where S is the selection coefficient

by rearranging,

0.18-0.18s=0.3

0.18s= 0.12

s=0.12/0.18=0.67
