Calculation problem on genetics. What would be the formula? 

16. An island population of frogs carries a rare allele at a frequency of 0.1. This same allele is present on the mainland at a frequency of 0.4. If the migration rate from the mainland to the island occurs at a rate of m = 0.2, what is the expected frequency of this rare allele on the island after the influx of immigrants? A) 0.0 <q<0.2 B) 0.2 <q<0.4 C) 0.4 < q<0.6 D) 0.6 < q<0.8 E) 0.8 < q< 1.0
