Two neighboring Caribbean islands harbor iguana populations. One island (island

A) has a total iguana population of 800, while the other (island B) has a population less than half that size, numbering 250. On island A, the frequency of an allele p is estimated at 0.75, while this same allele is present at a frequency of 0.90 on island B. During a hurricane tracking across the islands, a group of about 100 iguanas get rafted from island A to island B. What effect does this have on the frequency of allele p on island B?
