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

Viral Infections

Viruses are abundantly found, minute entities that have genetic material enclosed within a protein coat. The proteinaceous material enclosing the genetic material of the virus is called a capsid. The genetic material could be either DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid). A virus is too minute to be looked at with naked eyes and therefore visualized with the help of a microscope. They are acellular entities that require a host for processes, such as replication, transcription, translation and multiplication. Plants, animals, and bacteria act as host wherein the virus reproduce. Viruses cannot multiply outside the host's body and thus are considered nonliving outside the host body.
