Answer:

The conch has little to no influence for Jack's tribe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack showed clear hatred of Ralph's take on rules, and that is what the conch stood for. He abandoned the conch and the rules along with Ralph, and the other boys were forced to agree with this. Later, Ralph and PIggy showed them the conch, and the boys (except Jack) almost hesitated, which shows they still have feelings of respect and are slightly impacted by the conch. But their loyalty to Jack outweighs these feelings.
