They exist in all the cells of the body. They are inherited via sperm and egg cells.  

They will not be inherited unless a similar damage has happened in eggs or sperms due to the same exposure to mutagen, In that case, progeny might show the mutation.

But they are an inherited mutation that was supported in fertilization of the egg during reproduction.

<span>The answer is A. p2 = 0.36, 2pq = 0.48, q2 = 0.16.</span>

<span>
</span><span>
Let's first distinguish alleles frequencies from genotypes frequencies:
p - a frequency of R allele,
q - a frequency of r allele,
p² - a frequency of RR genotype,
2pq - a frequency of Rr genotype,
q² - a frequency of rr genotype.</span>

<span>

<span>The gene frequency of allele r changes from 0.38 to 0.40, thus:
q = 0.40</span>

Now, we will implement this in the following equation:
p + q = 1

If q = 0.40, then:
p + 0.40 = 1
</span>⇒ p = 1 - 0.40<span>
</span>⇒ p = 0.60

<span>

<span>Now, the frequencies of both alleles are know and it is easy to calculate the genotype frequencies:
- the frequency of RR genotype: p² = 0.60² = 0.36</span>
- the frequency of Rr genotype: 2pq = 2 · 0.60 · 0.40 = 0.48
- the frequency of rr genotype: q² = 0.40² = 0.16</span>

<span>

<span>Therefore, the new genotype frequencies in that population are p2 = 0.36, 2pq = 0.48, q2 = 0.16.</span></span>
