Question
Chapter 23.5, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which migration affect genetic compositions of populations.
Introduction: The migration and gene flow are important factors which are essential for determining genetic makeup and composition of individuals of a population. The process of natural selection and genetic drift are also very important for determination of genetic makeup.

Drift acting independantly in reproductively isolated populations does it increase or decrease the differences between populations?
VISUAL SKILLS Consider a population in which heterozygotes at a certain locus have an extreme phenotype(such as being larger than homozygotes) that confersa selective advantage. Compare this description to themodels of selection modes shown in Figure 23.13. Doesthis situation represent directional, disruptive, or stabilizing selection? Explain your answer.
Recall how Anolis carolinensis species on several islands off the Florida coast adapted to the arrival if invasive A. sagrei by growing bigger toepads, for easier climbing higher up in trees. Suppose an allele increasing topead size was intiially present at a frequency of 0.05. How much would it have to increase fitness in order to reach a frequency of at least 0.9 within 10 generations?
