Question

Figure 18-22 shows 10 haplotypes from a population before a selective sweep and another 10 haplotypes many
generations later after a selective sweep has occurred for
this chromosomal region. There are 11 loci defining each
haplotype, including one with a red allele that was the
target of selection. In the figure, two loci are designated
as A and B. These loci each have two alleles: one black
and the other gray. Calculate the linkage disequilibriumparameter (D) between A and B, both before and after
the selective sweep. What effect has the selective sweep
had on the level of linkage disequilibrium?
