The frequency of a recessive allele at a locus with two alleles in an infinitely large population of toads is currently 0.09. There is no selection at this locus, toads mate at random, this population is completely isolated from all other populations, and no mutations are occurring at this locus.
a) What will the frequency of the recessive homozygote be in the next generation?
b) Over a long period of time, what will happen to the frequency of the recessive allele?
