A hypothetical population has two alleles for an "A" gene: A1 and A2. The allele frequencies of the population were determined to be 70% A1 and 30% A2. What is the expected (predicted) frequency of zygotes with the A2A2 genotype (q2) if the population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? O A. 0.42 O B. 0.49 O C.0.21 O D.0.09

Suppose that in generation 0, the frequency of allele A1 in a population of armadillos is 0.4. In each generation, 10 percent of the individuals in that population are migrants from another population that has an allele frequency of 0.6. a) Calculate the frequency of A1 in each of the next two generations (generations 1 and 2). b) Is the change in allele frequency in generation 2 greater than, less than, or equal to the change in generation 1? How can you explain that answer? c) What will the allele frequency become in this population after many generations? I need all three parts with calculations asap!!
