Suppose that the recessive individuals (‘aa’, like lethal or sterile genes) of a large random mating population are intended to
be entirely eliminated from the population and that only the dominants are allowed to mate and reproduce. The zygotic
proportions of the various genotypes (AA, Aa, aa) in the population before such a selection (against recessives) are given as
(p2, 2pq, a2) respectively. The frequency of ‘A’ after such a selection in the next generation is
