Problem:
Two genes are in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) in a population, with a value of D = 0.16.
Required:
Question 1: If the two genes are on different chromosomes and the population undergoes random mating for two generations, what will the new values of D be after those two generations? [Show calculations, but no written explanation necessary].
Question 2: Would your answer to part (a) increase, decrease, or stay the same if the geneswere on the same chromosome? Briefly explain why.
So could someone explain this to me?
