- Introduces new alleles into populations where they already exist What causes gene flow? Correct Answer-Dispersal of either gametes or individuals
True or false: Not all migration results in gene flow Correct Answer-
True
What equation "measures migration"? Correct Answer-∆p = m (pm - p)
Define the variables in the equation:
∆p = m (pm - p) Correct Answer-- ∆p is the change in allele frequency due to migration
- m is how quickly gene flow eliminates genetic differences between populations
- pm is allele frequency in migrants
- p is allele frequency in recipient population
When can we and can we not use the equation ∆p = m (pm - p)? Correct Answer-When there are no distinct populations due to spatial continuity
What is this formula measuring?
∆p = m (pm - p) Correct Answer-Migration rate
