Question
Johnson (1988) reported the following allele frequencies at 25 allozyme loci in the land snail Theba pisana, which was introduced from Europe into western Australia in the 1890's.
1.) Using the table below differentiate the amounts of genetic variation (i.e., heterozygosity and allelic diversity) in these three samples.
