The frequency of recessive deleterious allele q is 0.09 in a population of fruit flies. You examine many individuals over many generations and measure that the mutation rate of (p) to (q) is 0.0003. What would the strength of selection against the q allele need to be for the frequency of q=0.06 to be maintained by selection-mutation balance?
