Are there aspects ofthis trait that could alter the fitness of the population?
Was the trait selectedfor or against? What about the environment caused this selection??
Did migration,bottlenecking, or the founder effect play pivotal roles in theprevalence of your trait? ?
Were there any typesof selective breeding that contributed to the difference infrequency between populations. ?
Is there evidence thatinteractions with other, pre-existing genes, played a role in theemergence or extinction of your trait within eachpopulation?
