When two populations frequently intermix due to migration, what are the long-term consequences with regard to allele frequencies and genetic variation?
A particular deer population has 50 M individuals, 30 MN individuals, and 70 N individuals. What are the allele frequencies?
Suppose in a certain population there are 100 individuals homozygous for the A1 allele, 400 individuals homozygous for the A2 allele, and 500 heterozygous individuals. What are the genotype frequencies? What are the allele frequencies?
