Neco Model Questions Vol1 2017 Biology Question 32
Practice objective / multiple choice question 32 from the 2017 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
In a beetle population the initial frequency of the dominant allele \(A\) is \(p = 0.60\) (so \(q = 0.40\)). The recessive genotype \(aa\) has a fitness of \(0.70\) while the other genotypes have fitness \(1.00\). Additionally, the allele \(A\) mutates to \(a\) at a rate \(\mu = 0.01\) per generation, with no back‑mutation. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg proportions before selection, what is the frequency of allele \(A\) after one generation (to three decimal places)?
