If a mainland population of snails has an allele frequency of 0.5 and an island population has a frequency of 0.2, how many generations of one-way migration (to the island) are required for the island population to achieve an allele frequency of 0.4, given a migration rate m = 0.01?
Added by John O.
Step 1
We are given the initial allele frequencies for the mainland population (Pm) and the island population (Pi). Pm = 0.5 and Pi = 0.2. Show more…

Under the one-island model, 5 individuals migrate from a continent to an island population of 50 residents. Before the migration event, the island population had an allele frequency of p=0.6 and the continent had an allele frequency of p=0.8. What is the island allele frequency after the migration event?
