In a beetle population two colour alleles exist: green (G) is dominant and brown (g) is recessive. The initial genotype frequencies are \(f(GG)=0.36\), \(f(Gg)=0.48\) and \(f(gg)=0.16\). A predator removes 30 % of the brown beetles each generation, so only 70 % of the \(gg\) individuals survive to reproduce. Assuming random mating among the survivors, calculate the frequency of the \(g\) allele after one generation of selection (give your answer to three decimal places).
