In hummingbirds feather color is incompletely dominant. A rather large population of hummingbirds has 396 red-sided individuals (RR), 257 brown sided individuals (Re) and 557 tan-sided individuals orr). Calculate the following:. a. What is the allele frequency of the Rallele (o)?
b. What is the allele frequency of the rallele (a)?
Migration season comes and 200 of the red-sided individuals leave the nosulation before mating occurs.
c. After migration season what is the new allele frequency of the Rallele (0)?
d. After migration season, what is the new allele frequency of the rallelelo?
e. Which mechanism of evolution (natural selection, genetic drift, or gene flow) caused the allele frequencies to change?

a) Frequency of the R allele: [(396 x 2) + 257] / (396 x 2) + (257 x 2) + (557  x 2) = 1049 / 2420 = 0.433

b) Frequency of the r allele: [(557 x 2) + 257] / (396 x 2) + (257 x 2) + (557  x 2) = 1371 / 2420 = 0.567

c) Frequency of the R allele: [(196 x 2) + 257] / (196 x 2) + (257 x 2) + (557  x 2) = 649 / 2020 = 0.321

d) Frequency of the r allele: [(557 x 2) + 257] / (196 x 2) + (257 x 2) + (557  x 2) = 1371 / 2020 = 0.679

e) migration is gene flow  

Explanation:

Gene flow (also referred to as gene migration) is the movement of genes that acts to change allele frequencies in local populations by transferring genetic material from one population to another. Gene flow may be caused either by the movement of organisms that reproduce in new populations (migration), or by the movement of gametes (for example, pollen dispersal in plants).

not always but somethings can be reproduced in a laboratory.
