The pattern includes Blue (B) and yellow (R) alleles which are co-dominant, giving a stripped heterozygous condition. Pink (P) feet is recessive to both blue and yellow alleles. Josh wanted to know if there had been selection occurring on Santiago Island verses Santa Cruz Island. On Santa Cruz Island 3.5% of the population has pink feet and the frequency of yellow alleles is .28 On the island of Santiago the following data was collected Blue Footed Boobies 236 Yellow Foote Boobies 89 Pink Footed Boobies 135 Striped Boobies 156 Is selection occurring on Santiago Island as compared to Santa Cruz Island? If it is explain what the selection is. • Show less
