On average, in populations with genotype frequencies as they were in the original sample of 100 children, compare and contrast what changes in genotype and allele frequencies you would expect over time. If the populations were in HWE, compared to the effects of random genetic drift only, compared to the effects of selection with the relative fitnesses: w11 = 0.556, w12 = 0.667, w22 = 1.

Question

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.
