Transcribed Image Text:3. You experimentally manipulate a gene related to bacterial metabolism in the lab.
You believe the mutant allele, A (delta), provides an advantage over the naturally
occurring, W (wildtype), allele in resource-limited environments. Starting with a
population in HW equilibrium with each allele equally represented, you record the
genotypes of the surviving population after selection by this resource-limited
environment occurs. What is the relative fitness of each genotype? (15pts)
