Question: Given three large populations with initial allele frequencies ( single locus, two alleles, D and d ) of: Population p ( D ) 1 0

Given three large populations with initial allele frequencies (single locus, two alleles, D and d) of:
Population p(D)
10.225
20.496
30.779
How many generations (t) are required for populations 1,2, and 3 to reach equilibrium allele frequency given the following probabilities of migration (m)?
m : 0.25,0.025,0.0025,0.00025,0.000025
Given the five values of t, calculated in part a and mutation rate of u =1.6e^-6 and v=4.4e^-7(mutations/gene/generation), what are the corresponding changes in allele frequencies due to mutation?
