29). A species of lizard is found on the eastern and western sides of part of a mountain range. On both sides, individual populations are small. On the western side, individual populations are relatively close together and males move extensively among populations to breed. On the eastern side, however, populations are farther apart and males seldom move among more than one or two adjacent populations to breed. If you were to study the genetic diversity of western and eastern populations, which pattern would you expect to find?

6). Zoos often construct extensive genetic profiles of their animals, maintain pedigree books, and trade or share animals for breeding purposes. A zoo with 12 pandas is considering importing a male panda from another zoo, because it is worried that its population might not be in Hardy−Weinberg equilibrium and is beginning to experience inbreeding depression. Do you agree with this recommendation?
