Please help with Evolution Bio problem please quick! A flock of 300 Red Legged Jabberwockys gets blown off course during a storm and ends up taking refuge on an island several hundred miles offshore. All 300 members of the Jabberwocky flock have the genotype BB1 for the B locus. On the island where this lost flock lands, the resident population of Red Legged Jabberwockys consists of 700 individuals, all of which have genotype B2B2 for the B locus. Given this information, calculate the observed allele frequencies of the combined population on the island, and the expected genotype frequencies of the next generation. Observed allele frequencies of current generation: (express answers in 1 significant digit: 0.0) p = B1 = q = B2 = Expected genotype frequencies of the next generation: (express answers in 2 significant digits: 0.00) B1B1 = B1B2 = B2B2 = Has migration increased or decreased genetic variation in the island population? Assuming natural selection favors the Be allele in the island environment, if migration events introducing the B1 allele to the island happened every year would you the frequency of the B1 allele to increase, decrease or stabilize over the next few generations? If the environment changes and natural selection now favors the Bi allele in the island environment, would you expect the frequency of the Be allele to increase, decrease or stabilize over the next few generations (assuming there is no further migration)
Genetic Variation
Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.
Quantitative Genetics
Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.
