In a beetle population two alleles, A and a, segregate at a single locus. The fitnesses are w(AA)=1.00, w(Aa)=0.90 and w(aa)=0.80. Mutation from A to a occurs at a rate μ = 2×10⁻⁴ per generation, while reverse mutation is negligible. The initial frequency of allele A is p₀ = 0.60. Assuming selection and mutation act each generation, what is the frequency of allele A after one generation (to three decimal places)?
