Question

question 15:

part 1: The relative fitnesses of three genotypes are w_A/A= 1.0, w_A/a = 0.4, and w_a/a = 0.5. If the population starts at the allele frequency p = 0.6, what is the value of p in the next generation?

part 2: In a population of Jackalopes (pictured to the right), horn length will vary between 0.5 and 2 feet, with the mean length somewhere around 1.05 feet.  You pick Jackalopes that have horn lengths around 1.92 feet to breed as this appears to be the optimal length for battling other Jackalopes for food. After a round of breeding, you measure the offsprings’ mean horn length is 1.46.  Calculate the narrow sense heritability.
