Question

The B locus has two alleles B and b with frequencies of
0.95 and 0.05, respectively, in a population in the current
generation. The genotypic fitnesses at this locus are wB/B
= 1.0, wB/ b = 1.0, and wb / b = 0.0
a. What will the frequency of the b allele be in two
generations?
b. What will the frequency of the b allele be in two
generations if the fitnesses were wB/B = 1.0, wB/ b = 0.0,
and wb / b = 0.0?
c. Explain why there is a difference in the rate of
change for the frequency of the b allele under parts (a)
and (b) of this problem
