Question

In a population of salamanders, a locus affects the structure of the skin of developing larvae as follows: DD and Dd individuals have skin that resists drying out, while dd individuals have skin that tends to dry out. Further, Dd and dd individuals have skin that is not harmed by ultraviolet light, while DD individuals have skin that IS harmed by ultraviolet light. The result is that Dd individuals don??t dry out and are not harmed by ultraviolet light, so that they have the highest fitness. DD individuals survive 3/4 as well as do Dd individuals; dd individuals survive 1/3 as well as do Dd individuals. The allele frequency of d at the start of a generation is 0.95. What will the allele frequency of d be at the start of the next generation?

Explanation / Answer

the allele frequecy of d at the start of next generation is also 0.95 which is same as previous generation.
