Q6.8. Imagine a population evolving by genetic drift, in which the frequency of allele K is 0.1. What is the probability that at some point in the future allele K will drift to a frequency of 1.07 Express your answer as a number between 0 and 1. (Hint: Remember the exercise you did in Section 3-Size Matters, where you explored how the probability of fixation is dependent on an allele's initial frequency.) 0.1 Submit Q6.9. A dwindling population of 1000 frogs occupies an isolated area in Costa Rica. To help preserve the species, scientists caught 20 frogs to start a new population in a nearby area. This species has a gene that affects eye shape. The 1000-member wild population has two alleles for this gene: R and r, with frequencies 0.7 and 0.3, respectively. What will be the allele frequencies of R and r in the 20-member founder population? The frequencies will be 0.7 for R and 0.3 for r. The frequencies will be 1.0 for R and 0 for r. The expected frequencies are 0.7 for R and 0.3 for r. The actual frequencies could be different. The founder populations's allele frequencies will necessarily be different than the source population's frequencies. Submit Q6.10.
