 Darlington proposed that

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Climax communities are self-maintaining
  2. The number of species inhabiting an island doubles with every tenfold increase in area
  3. Extinction rates are higher on larger islands and lower on smaller islands
  4. The number of species of a taxon inhabiting an island maintains a dynamic equilibrium, with the immigration of new species balancing the extinction of previously established species

One population X has 750 AA, 0 Aa, and 250 aa; the other Y has 500 AA, 500 Aa, and 0 aa. After one generation of random mating, the genotype frequencies X and Y respectively if the population size remains 1,000.
