Question 3 (8 pts). Before a drought arrives in the environment, a population of frogs is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and has a gene that encode for leg length called F, with allele “F” coding for long leg and “f” coding for short leg. Allele frequencies before the drought are: frequency of “F” = 0.7 and frequency of “f” = 0.3. Fitness is measured for each genotype and determined as: fitness of FF = 1, fitness of Ff = 0.4 and fitness of ff = 0.6.

What is the frequency of the “f” allele, one generation after the drought arrived in the environment?

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Based on the given information:

Before drought:

Fitness: FF = 1, Ff = 0.4 and ff = 0.6

After drought:
