Samples of brook trout from two mountain streams yielded the following data for a polymorphism for restriction fragment length (3.3-,3.9-,4.1-kilobases)at the gene encoding the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase.

a)What are the allele frequencies in each population?
b)Are the populations at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
c)What effect would migration of salmon from population 2 into the river where population 1 lives have on the allele frequencies in the progeny of population 1?
