A recent outbreak of ranavirus in salmon has you concerned. During your fieldwork you’ve discovered that individuals that have a hard operculum (gill covering) survive best because the virus cannot gain access to the gills. Individuals with a soft operculum suffer 64% mortality due to ranavirus infection. The hard operculum is a dominant trait. You surveyed your population and found AA: 36, Aa: 45, and aa: 21. Showing the math increases the possibility of partial credit. Clearly indicate in your answer: The allele frequencies (both p and q) of your current population The allele frequencies (both p and q) you expect in the next generation due to the ranavirus outbreak

A recent outbreak of ranavirus in salmon has you concerned. During your fieldwork you’ve discovered that individuals that have a hard operculum (gill covering) survive best because the virus cannot gain access to the gills. Individuals with a soft operculum suffer 64% mortality due to ranavirus infection. The hard operculum is a dominant trait. You surveyed your population and found AA: 36, Aa: 45, and aa: 21. Showing the math increases the possibility of partial credit. Clearly indicate in your answer:
- The allele frequencies (both p and q) of your current population
- The allele frequencies (both p and q) you expect in the next generation due to the ranavirus outbreak
