Step 1: Quantify amount ofgenetic differentiation between each of the population

Question

Step 1: Quantify amount ofgenetic differentiation between each of the populations. Below are gene sequences from each of the 4 males' populations. Each gene sequence is 100 nucleotides long. Calculate the genetic distance as the percentage of nucleotides that differ between two species in a given locus (# nucleotide differences/total # nucleotides 100). For example, if there are 6 differences out of 100 nucleotides between species A & B, the genetic distance would be 6% between these two species.
