These are the fitness es for each genotype:RR: 1, are: .84, rr: .12.
Mutation rate from R to r: 2.13x10^-5 and reverse mutation rate is : r to R: 2.57x10^-8 What is the equilibrium frequency of the r allele? These are the fitness es for each genotype:RR: 1, are: .84, rr: .12.
Mutation rate from R to r: 2.13x10^-5 and reverse mutation rate is : r to R: 2.57x10^-8 What is the equilibrium frequency of the r allele?
Mutation rate from R to r: 2.13x10^-5 and reverse mutation rate is : r to R: 2.57x10^-8 What is the equilibrium frequency of the r allele?

Explanation / Answer

Let "u" be the forward mutation rate from functional gene R to non functional gene r:

u= 2.13x10-5

Let "v" be the reverse mutation rate from functional gene r to non functional gene R:

v= 2.57x10-8

Let "q" be the equilibrium frequency,

Equilbrium frequency of r allele is calculated by equation: q= u/(u+v)

q= 2.13x10-5/(2.13x10-5+2.57x10-8)

= 2.13x10-5/2.13x10-5

=1
