A population of diploid, outbreeding, sexuall-reproducing rodents, population A, lives on a small island. The population consists of 100,000 individuals a)Are all of the individuals of population A genetically identical? Answer yes or no b) A volcanic eruption carves the island into two populations (A1 and A2, 50,000 individuals each). The rodents cannot cross the lava. Immediately after the eruption, you take 100 individuals from each of populations A1 and A2. You are shown a DNA sequence chosen at random from the total pool of 200 sequences; can you tell which population, A1 or A2, it comes from? Answer yes or no. c)How would you determine whether or not individuals from A1 and A2 are reproductively isolated from each other?
