In a population of flowers growing in a meadow, C1and C2 are autosomal codominant alleles that control flower color. The alleles are polymorphic in the population, with f (C1) = 0.7 and f (C2) = 0.3. Flowers that are C1C1 are yellow, orange flowers are C1C2, and C2C2 flowers are red. A storm blows a new species of hungry insects into the meadow, and they begin to eat yellow and orange flowers but not red flowers. The predation exerts strong natural selection on the flower population, resulting in relative fitness values of C1C1 = 0.30, C1C2 = 0.60, and C2C2 = 1.0.
a. Suppose that the population begins in H?W equilibrium, what is C1 allele frequency after one generation of natural selection?
b.Suppose that the population begins in H?W equilibrium, what is C2 allele frequency after one generation of natural selection?
c.Suppose that random mating takes place among survivors, what is the genotype C1C1 frequency in the second generation?
d.Suppose that random mating takes place among survivors, what is the genotype C1C2 frequency in the second generation?
e.Suppose that random mating takes place among survivors, what is the genotype C2C2 frequency in the second generation?
f.If predation continues, what is the C1 allele frequency when the second generation mates?
g.If predation continues, what is the C2 allele frequency when the second generation mates?
h.What is the equilibrium frequency of C1 if predation continues?
i. What is the equilibrium frequency of C2 if predation continues?
