Use a numerical example to demonstrate that selection is notefficient at removing deleterious recessive alleles from apopulation.
First, choose a value of q, the frequency of the deleteriousrecessive allele in generation 1. What fraction of the populationis homozygous for the deleterious recessive?
Now, select a value for s and calculate the expected frequency ofthe allele in the next generation, q’. What fraction of thepopulation is homozygous for the deleterious recessive in thisgeneration?
