You are studying a population of sexual, diploid insects. One particular trait, wing size, is controlled by a single locus with two alleles. The allele for narrow wing size is dominant (N) and the allele for wide wing size is recessive (n). The population you are studying is comprised of 97 individuals with the NN genotype, 52 individuals with the Nn genotype and 50 individuals with the nn genotype. What is expected frequency of the dominant allele (A1) after selection

The expected frequency of the dominant allele, N is 0.70

Explanation:

Total number of individuals in the insect population = 97 + 52 + 50 = 199

From Hardy-Weinberg equation, p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1; also p + q = 1

The frequency of dominant allele, N = p

Frequency of dominant NN genotype individuals = p2

From the given data: the population is comprised of 97 individuals with the NN genotype, 52 individuals with the Nn genotype and 50 individuals with the nn genotype.

Frequency of NN genotype individuals p2 = number of individuals with NN genotype ÷ total insect population

p2 = 97/ 199

p2 = 0.487

p = 0.697 = 0.70

Therefore, the expected frequency of the dominant allele, N is equal to 0.70
