Q1.3. How do the frequencies of allele S in the Breeding Pens compare to the frequency of allele S among ferrets in the field population? They are exactly the same as the field population's frequency. They are nearly the same as the field population's frequency (within 10%). They vary, and some are fairly different from the field population's frequency. Q1.4. How did the frequencies of allele S in the pens come to be different from the frequency in the field? Just by chance, I happened to grab a different collection of genotypes for each pen. In some pens, selection favors allele S; in other pens selection favors allele C. When I selected ferrets to move, I adjusted my choices so that the allele frequencies would be different in each pen.
