Question

If an earthquake occurs and the two populations of wildebeest can migrate in between herds how would you expect the genotypic frequencies to change?

Answer 1

If two populations of wildebeest migrate after an earthquake occurs then the genotypic frequencies in both the population will change. This change will occur in the direction of increase in the homogeneity between the two populations thereby decreasing the heterogeneity between the population. The migration allows gene flow to occur between two populations to occur and hence decrease the heterogeneity between the two populations. Thus migration will decrease the heterogeneity in the population and increase homogeneity thus leading to the increase in the genotypic frequency in one genotype among both the population.

If you have any query kindly comment before giving thumbs up. Thank you.
