Neco 2021 Biology Question 27
Practice objective / multiple choice question 27 from the 2021 Neco Biology examination.
In a beetle population the allele frequencies for a colour gene are initially \(p = 0.6\) (dominant allele \(A\)) and \(q = 0.4\) (recessive allele \(a\)). After one generation of selection the recessive phenotype (\(aa\)) suffers a 20 % reduction in survival relative to the other genotypes. Assuming random mating and that selection acts only through differential survival, calculate the new frequency \(p'\) of allele \(A\) after selection.
