Question

A population of Lesser-Known Happy Face Banana Eaters is established on an island. The gene for tail tufts has 4 alleles: B for blue, R for red, Y for yellow, and W for white. Heterozygote individuals have blended colors, for example BR have purple tufts, BW have light blue tufts; BB are dark blue tufts, etc. The frequency of these alleles is 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4, respectively. On the mainland (continent), the frequency of these alleles is 0.25 for each. The migration rate from the mainland to the island is 1 Lesser-Known Happy Face Banana Eater per generation. If the migration rate continues indefinitely, what is the final composition of alleles on the island and why?

Explanation / Answer

Answer for Above Question: Lesser-Known Happy Face Banana Eaters are Established on Island.

Gene for Tail Tufts and their frequency are like B for BLUE:0.1,Gene for Tail Tufts and their frequency are like R for RED:0.2, Gene for Tail Tufts and their frequency are like Y for YELLOW: 0.3, Gene for Tail Tufts and their frequency are like W for White: 0.4. But , On the mainland continent, the frequency is 0.25. If the migration rate continues indifinitley, the composition of alleles as like BLUE:0.25, RED:0.50, YELLOW: 0.75,WHITE:0.100. It is because due to loosing their nativity from mainland to Island through their migration.
