Frequency-Dependent Selection
Problem 6 - Given the frequency-dependent fitness of a genotype, determine if is subject to negative or positive frequency-dependent selection.
Suppose the frequency-dependent fitness associated with genotype AA is given by,
for a one locus, two allele system. Using this equation for w11, is genotype AA subject to negative frequency-dependent selection (rare advantage) or positive frequency-dependent selection (common advantage)?
