In a beetle population, allele \(A\) (green) is dominant over allele \(a\) (brown). The initial allele frequencies are \(p=0.6\) for \(A\) and \(q=0.4\) for \(a\). Before reproduction, \(20\%\) of the brown (\(aa\)) beetles are removed by predators. Assuming random mating among the survivors, calculate the new allele frequencies \(p'\) and \(q'\) in the breeding pool.

Answer Options

A. p' ≈ 0.60, q' ≈ 0.40
B. p' ≈ 0.87, q' ≈ 0.13
C. p' ≈ 0.63, q' ≈ 0.37
Correct Answer D. p' ≈ 0.62, q' ≈ 0.38
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
p' ≈ 0.62, q' ≈ 0.38
