A dwindling population of 1000 frogs occupies an isolated area in Costa Rica. To help preserve the species, scientists caught 20 frogs to start a new population in a nearby area. This species has a gene that affects eye shape. The 1000-member population has two alleles for this gene: R and r, with frequencies 0.7 and 0.3 respectively. what will the alleles frequencies of R and r in the 20-member founder population?



A) The frequencies will be 0.7 for R and 0.3 for r.

B) The frequencies will be 1.0 for R and 0 for r.

C) The expected frequencies are 0.7 for R and 0.3 for r. The actual frequencies could be different.

D) The founder populations allele frequencies will necessarily be different than the source populations frequencies.
