You are treating a skin infection by a bacteria in a human. Younotice that there are two genotypes of bacteria in the infection,C1 and C2. You first check to see what the relative fitness of thetwo types before treating the patient. You give an antibiotic andrecheck the fitnesses with the results shown i the table.
Genotype C1 C2 No antibiotics 1 1.02 Antibiotic treatment 1 .6
For each of these two situations, calculate what the frequencyof allele 1 would be for the next TWO generations, starting fromp=.2.
Which of these alleles is resistant to the antibiotic?
If you could leave the infection untreated by antibiotics, whatwould the frequency of the resistant type be after a long time?
**Please show your work!!
Thanks!
