In a population of flowers growing in a meadow, C1 and C2 are autosomal codominant alleles that control flower color. The alleles are polymorphic in the population, with f (C1) = 0.8 and f (C2) = 0.2. Flowers that are C1C1 are yellow, orange flowers are C1C2, and C2C2 flowers are red. A storm blows a new species of hungry insects into the meadow, and they begin to eat yellow and orange flowers but not red flowers. The predation exerts strong natural selection on the flower population, resulting in relative fitness values of C1C1 = 0.30, C1C2 = 0.60, and C2C2 = 1.0.
Required:
a. What is the C1C2 genotype frequency among the progeny of predation survivors?
b. What is the C2C2 genotype frequency among the progeny of predation survivors?
c. What is the C2C2 genotype frequency among the progeny of predation survivors?
d. What is the equilibrium C2 allele frequency in the predation environment?
