LAMARCK's THEORY 
                                   
Jean Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) proposed a theory which was published in "<em>Philosophie Zoologique"</em> (1809).  This theory is simply known as Lamarckism. It has two main postulates:

1. Use and disuse of organs
2. Inheritance of acquired characters.

Example
             He explained his theory by giving the examples:
1. Neck length of Girrafes
2. Webbed toes of water birds, and
3. Wings of penguins

Explanation
               Lamarck explained that water birds use toe for swimming, with the passage of time webbed were developed in their toes. these features were then transferred to their offspring. 

Drawback
                Lamarck theory was based on natural observation. It did not explain the genetic basis of such characteristics.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The allele frequencies of both populations are likely to be similar.

Explanation:

An allele is a variant form of a given gene. Sometimes different alleles can cause variations in the observable characteristics of the species examined.

In the option given the chance that alleles are similar is very high because both populations exchange migrants very frequently and at a high rate so the genes of both populations are mixed very often.

I hope this answer helps you.
