In controlled experiments with different genotypes of an


In controlled experiments with different genotypes of an insect, a researcher has measured the probability of survival from fertilized egg to mature, breeding adults. The survival probabilities of the three genotypes tested are 0.92, 0.90, and 0.56 for GG, Gg, and gg, respectively.

A) If all breeding adults are equally fertile, what are the relative fitnesses of the three genotypes?

B) If all breeding adults are equally fertile, what are the relative fitnesses of the three genotypes?

C) What is the equilibrium frequency for the G allele given these fitness values?

D) Graph the equilibrium frequency for G against the mean population fitness as shown in class?

E) Discuss ALL the equilibrium points shown on your graph.
