Question

The hoary bat is widespread throughout North America. IT is a pwerful flyer, as evidenced by the fact that it also occurs in Hawaii. The frequency of the cytb1 allele on the mainland is 0.16, and the frequency of the same allele on Hawaii is equal to 0.68. If the rate of migration from the continent to Hawaii is equal to 22 bats from the mainland for every 78 on the island each generation, how would the frequency of this allele change on the island from one generation to the next as a result of migration? What is the allele frequency on the island at equilibrium?
