Rates of gene flow can be estimated from similarity in allele frequencies among populations.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rates of gene flow can indeed be estimated by comparing the similarity of allele frequencies between different populations. Populations that have high similarity in allele frequencies are likely experiencing high gene flow, while populations with more divergent allele frequencies are likely experiencing less gene flow.
