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

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>The gene frequency of allele r changes from 0.38 to 0.40, thus:
</span>q = 0.40
Now, we will implement this in the following equation:
p + q = 1
If q = 0.40, then:
p + 0.40 = 1
⇒ p = 1 - 0.40
⇒ p = 0.60
Now, the frequencies of both alleles are know and it is easy to calculate the <span>genotype frequencies:
-</span> the frequency of RR genotype: p² = 0.60² = 0.36
- the frequency of Rr genotype: 2pq = 2 · 0.60 · 0.40 = 0.48
- the frequency of rr genotype: q² = 0.40² = 0.16
Therefore, the new genotype frequencies in that population are <span>p2 = 0.36, 2pq = 0.48, q2 = 0.16.</span>

This could help the elephant population rebuild by taking away some of its (predators). Elephants are a keystone species because they dig watering holes, which all animals need. You increase the number of elephants, you increase water availability.
False, our beliefs and opinions on politics and economics are unrelated to the environment.
