In a beetle population the allele frequencies are initially p = 0.6 (A) and q = 0.4 (a). Genotype AA and Aa produce a bright colour and survive predation with probability 0.9, while genotype aa is dull and survives with probability 0.4. Assuming random mating and selection only through these survival probabilities, compute the allele frequencies after one generation of selection.

Answer Options

A. p' ≈ 0.54, q' ≈ 0.46
Correct Answer B. p' ≈ 0.66, q' ≈ 0.34
C. p' ≈ 0.58, q' ≈ 0.42
D. p' ≈ 0.70, q' ≈ 0.30
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
p' ≈ 0.66, q' ≈ 0.34
