Question

  1. A nucleotide site is polymorphic with C and G in a plantspecies. Currently, there are 80, 240 and 180 individual plantswith CC, CG, and GG genotypes, respectively, in the entirepopulation.
  1. What is the frequency of allele G in the currentgeneration?
  1. If mating (pollination) occurs randomly among plants and plantswith different genotypes are equally fit, what is the expectedfrequency of CG heterozygotes in the next generation?
