In a longitudinal study, 100 children born on the same day were sampled in a population of interest, and genotyped at one locus that has two alleles, A1 and A2. The children were followed every seven years until adulthood. At the end of the study, 75 reproductive adults remained from the original cohort of 100 children. Genotype A1A1 A1A2 A2A2 Number of Children 48 36 16 Number of Adults 30 27 18 If the adults in the sampled cohort represent the parents of the next generation of offspring in the population, and assuming random mating among the adults to produce the children of the next generation, calculate the predicted genotype frequencies in the children of the next generation.
