Consider a locus in which the fitness of AA and Aa genotypes are greater than the fitness of aa genotype. In addition, this locus experiences forward mutation from the A allele to a allele. At this locus, the A allele:
a.will always go to fixation.
b.will always be lost.
c.will never go to fixation.
d.will never change.
e.None of the above.

Respuesta :

Answer: b.will always be lost

Explanation:Mutations are sudden heritable changes that can be transferred from a generation to another. There are various kind of mutation;

1. Forward Mutation- This is a change from a wild type to a mutant.

Wild type is the common phenotype known to a spieces a sudden change to another phenotype outside the original is forward mutation E.g Allele A changes to allele a.

This Allele A will there fore be lost and the new allele effect will be seen. Forward mutation is very low in the population

Reverse mutation is change from a mutant gene to a wild type. A mutant phenotype changing to a wild type. Reverse restores forward mutation.
