A population of 150 individuals has allele counts of 90 A and 60 a. If 30 individuals migrate out, how would this impact the allele frequencies if gene flow was initially balanced?
💡 Hint: Consider the population's new total and proportions!
Explain how a sudden mutation introducing a new allele could affect an already stable population's allele frequencies.
💡 Hint: Think about beneficial vs. harmful mutations and their survival rates.
