lungfish have two alleles for a gene, b and b. the frequency of b in a population living in pond 1 is 0.2. the frequency of this allele in pond 2 is 0.8. lungfish migrate from pond 1 to pond 2 such that 10% of the pond 2 parents in the next generation are migrants from pond 1. what will be the pond 2 allele b frequency in the next generation?

The pond 2 allele B frequency in the next generation will be 0.68.

What is an allele?

An allele is described as a variation of the same sequence of nucleotides at the same place on a long DNA molecule, as described in leading textbooks on genetics and evolution.

The B allele frequency in the next generation following the migration for pond 2 can be calculated from the following equation:

PB₂' = (1 - 2m) PB₂ + 2mPB₁

where;

PB₂' is the probability of B in the next generation in pond B,

m is the percent of pond 1 parents in pond 2 following the migration = 0.1

PB₁ is the frequency of B in pond 1 prior to the migration event

PB₂ is the frequency of B in pond 2 prior to the migration event

PB₂' = (1 - 2 * 0.1) * 2 * 0.1 * 0.2

PB₂' = 0.68
