Question 1. (12 pts). you are studying jaguars and have collected allele frequencies of
two alleles at a singl loci for two subpopulations, a and b. the frequencies of the alleles
are given in the following table.
subpopulation
0.4
0.4 0.6
| 0.5 0.5
a) has fixation occurred for either allele in either subpopulation? explain why or why
not by defining fixation.
b) calculate the average heterozygosity of the subpopulations, hg.
c) calculate the expected heterozygosity of a mixed population, ht.
d) calculate the inbreeding coefficient, est.
e) does the calculated est suggest the subpopulations are inbred? explain your answer.
