In a beetle population the frequency of allele \(A\) is \(p = 0.6\) and of allele \(a\) is \(q = 0.4\). Fitness values are: \(w_{AA}=0.9\), \(w_{Aa}=1.0\), \(w_{aa}=0.6\). Assuming random mating and Hardy-Weinberg proportions, calculate the frequency of allele \(A\) in the next generation. State whether the frequency of \(A\) is expected to increase or decrease.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. p' ≈ 0.627; the frequency of allele A will increase
B. p' ≈ 0.590; the frequency of allele A will decrease
C. p' ≈ 0.610; the frequency of allele A will increase
D. p' ≈ 0.640; the frequency of allele A will increase
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
p' ≈ 0.627; the frequency of allele A will increase
