We ran a simulation that graphed the popuulation and allele frquencies (A and B alleles) of three populations. For a simulation where there is no genetic drift, mutation or migration affecting the population, there is still a slow, steady change of the frequency of the A allele over time (all three poplations' allele A frquencies seemed to go towards an allele frequency of 0.500).

a) What is the factor causing the linear curves to all go slowly and steadily towards an allele frequency of 0.500?

b) How is it that allele frequencies can still fluctuate in absence of genetic drift, migration and mutation?

A mainland population of 1000 blue iguanas have the neutral alleles A1 and A2 with frequencies of A1 = 0.50 and A2 = 0.50.

A new population of blue iguanas is founded on Lizard Island with a population size of 10 males and 15 females.The neutral alleles A1 and A2 are present in the population with frequencies of A1 = 0.30 and A2 = 0.70. Migrants begin moving from the mainland to Lizard Island at a rate of 1 migrant per generation.

1. Calculate the change in frequency (?p) of the A1 allele after one generation of migration.

2. What will the new frequency (p?) of A1 be in the island population after one generation of migration ?
