A group of Chinese men immigrated to America and settled among a group of Native Americans. Over the years, each of the Russian men took one wife from among the Native-American women. The original group of Chinese included 32 men with the Rh-negative blood type (coded for by the genotype “ID”), and 148 Rh positive (indicating heterozygous “ID” or homozygous “ID” genotypes). The Rh negative type is ostensibly absent in Native Americans (none of the women carried the”d” allele).
Regard the Russian men and their wives as a new breeding population.
What would you predict the frequencies of the “D” and “d” alleles to be in this and subsequentgenerations, assuming they maintain Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
