MIGRATION AND NATURAL SELECTION AS COMPETING MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION Violations of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium: Migration In Allele A1, the parameter called Fraction of migrants each generation det... ermines the number of individuals that move between two populations, e.g. between a mainland and an island, every generation, as a fraction of the receiving population. For example, setting the parameter to 0.1 means that each generation, ten percent of the individuals in the island population are new arrivals from the mainland. The parameter called Frequency of A1 in the source population determines the frequency of allele A1 on the mainland (and thus among each generation's migrants). 1. Click on the Reset button to restore all parameters to their default values (which means that the starting frequency of A1 in the island population will be 0.5). Predict what will happen when you set the fraction of migrants each generation to 0.01 and the frequency of A1 in the source population to 0.8. Then set the parameters to these values and run the simulation. If your prediction was not correct, try to explain the difference between what you expected and what actually happened [Show More]
