C. What is the expected frequency of heterozygotes after one generation if every individualin the population mates with their first cousin? What is the expected frequency ofdiseased individuals after one generation of everyone mating with their first cousin?2 Ina nnlation of ..il4 here 1. Imagine a gene that causes a rare recessive disease in the mangrove killifish, with the normalallele (A,) very common and the recessive allele (A2) very uncommon (the frequency of A2 =0.01, and there are only two alleles).са

4. When the F1 bees were backcrossed to the inbred resistant line produced 4 types of offspring in equal numbers: ¼ if the back-cross offspring showed the complete hygienic behavior pattern¼ of the back-cross offspring showed none of the elements of hygienic behavior¼ of the back-cross offspring would uncap the cells of the diseased larvae but these workers would not remove the diseased larvae¼ of the back-cross offspring would remove the diseased larvae (once the experimenter had uncapped the cells of the diseased larvae) a.
