How to calculate the frequency of allele


Problem:

If the initial allele frequencies are p = 0.75 and q =0.25 and the a allele is a lethal recessive, what will be the frequency of the a allele in the future?

Use the following equation:

qn=q01+nq0

where qn = the new gene frequency, q0 = the initial gene frequency, and n = the number of generations.

Question 1: What will be the frequency of the a allele after 1 generation?

Round your answer to four decimal places.

Question 2: What will be the frequency of the a allele after 5 generations?

Round your answer to four decimal places.

Question 3: What will be the frequency of the a allele after10 generations

Round your answer to four decimal places.

Question 4: What will be the frequency of the a allele after25 generations

Round your answer to four decimal places.

Question 5: What will be the frequency of the a allele after100 generations

Round your answer to four decimal places.

Question 6: What will be the frequency of the a allele after1000 generations

please show me how to use this equation to solve these questions
