I'm a first-year college student and I'm havnig a lot of trouble with a particular question. Here goes:
Manx cats are tailess and when crossed with one another produceo n averaeg one long-tailed cat for every 2 Manx. The allele is lethal in homozygous condition due to problems arisiging in development of the lower vertebrae.
Suppose an island were populated with Manx cats.
(a) What would the ferquency of Manx allele be in first generation zygotes produced by the founders? Indciate as completely as possible your argument for this and the next question?
(b) What would the frequency of the Manx allele be in breeding age individuals of thsi generation?
(c) What process is under study in this change in allele frequencies (one sentence or phrase only)?
