Question: Q6. Consider a genetic disorder in which healthy allele mutates to a recessive deleterious one with a rate of u = 108 and the fitness cost is a reduction of the fitness by 25%. Imagine that this allele is segregating in a population of 1,000,000,000 individuals. (a, 3 pts) What is the expected long term equilibrium frequency of this allele? Report answer to the nearest 0.000001 as a decimal answer (i.e., no scientific notation) (b, 3 pts) What is the expected long term equilibrium frequency of individuals experiencing this genetic disorder? (i.e., how many individuals in our population do we expect to exhibit the disorder?) Report answer to the nearest integer (i.e., whole number) (c, 3 pts) What is the expected long term equilibrium frequency of individuals acting as "carriers" of this genetic disorder? (i.e., how many individuals in our population do we expect to exhibit the disorder?) Report answer to the nearest integer (i.e., whole number) Question: Q6.
