Twenty snakes with the Aa genotype migrated to a population of 80 snakes of the same species with the AA genotype to form a new population. Assuming that the new population is now "ideal" (under genetic equilibrium) and remains "ideal" for future generations, what percentage of snakes will have the Aa genotype in the next generation? What is the frequency of the a allele in the population after three generations? Show your calculation.
