Question

Suppose a population has two alleles at a particular locus, and individuals with different diploid genotypes at this locus have different probabilities of survival and expected offspring, as given in the table below:

 

Genotype

% Surviving to adulthood

Expected offspring

GG

90%

11

Gg

80%

15

gg

50%

28

 

Calculate the absolute fitness, W, for each genotype, and then the relative fitness, w, using the smallest absolute fitness value as your reference. Assume that the selection differential s is equal to the difference in relative finesses of the heterozygote, Gg, genotype, and the least-fit genotype. If there are 311 individuals who are homozygous for the G allele in a population of 4,659, and we ignore the effect of genetic drift, how much should the frequency of the G allele change over one generation of natural selection? (Give your answer up to four decimal places).
