A butterfly species is found on two neighbouring islands. 8% of the population on island 1 has spotted wings, a recessive trait (the presence of wing spots is encoded by a single locus with two alleles). Only 5% of the population on island 2 has spotted wings.

Some butterflies from island 1 were blown to island 2 during a severe hurricane and 20% of island 2’s population now consists of individuals blown over from island 1. Answer the following questions:

A bird species is found on two neighboring islands where wing colour and patterning is under the control of a single bi-allelic locus.16% of the bird population on island 1 has red-spotted wings, a recessive trait. Only 5% of the bird population on island 2 has red-spotted wings. Following a mass-migration event, 20% of island 2's population is made up of individuals from island 1.
