You are investigating a newly emerging bacteriophage infecting your bacteria. There is a population of bacteria that are resistant to the disease. The allele frequency of the resistant allele is q=0.43. The mutation rate (Aàa) of the locus is 3.2 x 10-2. Assuming no back mutations, how do you expect the allele frequency of the recessive allele to change in the next generation?   a. It will decrease a little   b. It will not change   c. It will decrease a lot   d. It will increase a little   e. It will increase a lot

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
