After an exceptionally rainy spring, there is no longer a barrier between the populations, and some individuals migrate inland from the coast. Consequently, 20 % of individuals in the new inland population are originally from the coastal population. Calculate the spotted allele frequency for the inland population after migration, q combined . Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer

After inland population after migration allele frequency is 0.62 or 62%

Explanation:

Given,  

Coastal striped phenotype freq. = 0.22

ss = 0.22

[tex]q_{coastal} \times q_{coastal} = 0.22[/tex]

[tex]q_{2 coastal}[/tex]= 0.22

Similarly, inland striped phenotype freq. = 0.43

[tex]q_{2inland}[/tex] = 0.43

[tex]q_{coastal} = \sqrt{q_{2coastal}}[/tex]

= [tex]\sqrt{0.22}[/tex]

= 0.4690

[tex]q_{coastal}[/tex]= 0.47 i.e. 47%

[tex]q_{inland} = \sqrt{0.43}[/tex]

= 0.655

[tex]q_{inland}[/tex] = 0.66 i.e. 66%

the migration range (m) is given as 20%

m= 0.2

allele freq. after migration = pre migration + ∆q

here,                  

∆q = change in the allele frequency

or                    

migration of allele freq. from coastal to inland

=[tex]m(q_{coastal} - q_{inland})[/tex]

= 0.2 (0.47 – 0.66)  

=[tex]0.2 \times (- 0.191)[/tex]

= - 0.0382    

∆q = -0.04   i.e. 4%
