Q48 - Genetic Drift Simulation in Small Populations
Refer to the question paper for figures and tables.
a. Population 1 has the largest number of individuals.
b. The effect of drift is seen only in population 1 and 2, but not in population 3.
c. Data from population 1 show that genetic drift does not distinguish between a recessive allele and a dominant allele.
d. The effect of random fluctuations in allele frequency tends to cancel each other in large population sizes.
