A population of beetles has two alleles at a locus: \(A\) (green) and \(a\) (brown). The initial allele frequencies are \(p = 0.6\) for \(A\) and \(q = 0.4\) for \(a\). The relative survival (fitness) of the three genotypes is: \(w_{AA}=0.9\), \(w_{Aa}=0.8\), \(w_{aa}=0.5\). After one generation of selection, what are the new allele frequencies \(p'\) and \(q'\)? Give your answers to three decimal places.

Answer Options

A. p' = 0.600, q' = 0.400
B. p' = 0.680, q' = 0.320
C. p' = 0.630, q' = 0.370
Correct Answer D. p' = 0.655, q' = 0.345
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
p' = 0.655, q' = 0.345
