Answer:
We should expect to see 400 copies of A3 allele
Explanation:
The frecuency (F) of an allele is equal to:
[tex]F_{A3} =\frac{Number of copies of allele}{Total number of copies of gene in population}[/tex]
Given that lions are diploid organisms, which means they have two copies of each chromosome, there are in total 1000 copies of the creatine phosphatase locus (500*2=1000).
By replacing in the formula, be obtain that:
[tex]0.4=\frac{number of copies of allele A3}{1000}[/tex]
[tex]0.4*1000=number of copies of allele A3\\400- number of copies of allele A3[/tex]
