Answer:

The survivors,that is 2% of the initial population has lost the genetical information of the less wide stripes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic information, as the broadness stripes is inherited from generation to generation, and this type of ground squirrel have been eliminated in the genetic line, so the next generations will be based in the 2% of broader stripes squirrels.
