Summarise the data on morph frequencies, allele frequencies and index of polymorphism for the three populations in a table. b. Summarise in a table the estimates of genetic differentiation (FsT) between the populations for both shell colour and banding alleles. Note that you do not need to aenerate bar charts for each of the populations. c. With reference to all the information given in Table 1 and summarised in your tables in (a) and (b), explain how each of these samples differs from the others, and which of the samples are most genetically similar to each other. It should be clear from your answer on what evidence your conclusions are based and your answer should be no more than 200 words in length (mandatory word limit). d. Outline two possible reasons for the differences you have observed and explain why these reasons might account for the differences. Your answer should be no more than 200 words (mandatory word limit).
