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.
