You have two populations of snakes in different enclosures in a zoo. In enclosure A the frequency for the autosomal dominant banded allele is 0.8. In enclosure B the frequency for the recessive unbanded allele is O.6. If you start a third enclosure made up of equal numbers of snakes from enclosures A and B, what is the new allele frequency for the banded allele in the third enclosure? O A) 0.7 B) 0.3 O C) 0.6 D) 0.8
