the dna of wolves from 2 different packs shows many shared alleles. what does this suggest about their geographic relationship?
they are geographically close, allowing more gene flow, or sharing.
they live in complete isolation from other packs.
they are very far apart with little gene flow, or sharing.
they are unrelated because they share alleles.

Explanation:

Gene flow occurs when alleles are transferred between populations. If two wolf packs share many alleles, it is likely that there is gene flow between them. Gene flow is more common when populations are geographically close. If they were in complete isolation (no gene flow), the number of shared alleles would be much lower. If they were very far apart with little gene flow, again, fewer shared alleles would be expected. Sharing alleles actually indicates a relationship, not that they are unrelated.

Answer:

They are geographically close, allowing more gene flow, or sharing.
