Researchers have identified an important cancer gene that could lead to more effective drugs being developed to fight paediatric high grade glioma, a disease which currently has a poor prognosis. The discovery, published today in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, was one of a number of...
I need a little help!
a. What are the fitness values for the 3 genotypes if the selection coefficients are S(aa)=0.90 and S(Aa)=0.10.
I calculated my fitness values to be W(AA)=1, W(Aa)=0.90, and W(aa)=0.10 using the formula W=1-S.
Is this right?
b. Assuming these are correct, if the...

If I have a woma ball python and breed it with a normal ball python what would I get?
I am confused about the co dominant thing.
Does it mean you can not have a het for woma ball just a woma or not.
So if I breed a woma to a normal will I get womas and normals
