Question

Genetic bottlenecks have shaped the genetic diversity of many human populations. Considering how well a small sample can represent binary (i.e., two allele at the same locus) or or multiple-allele loci, which one of the following do you expect after two generations of randomly sampling only 10 alleles (5 diploid individuals) from a gene pool of thousands of individuals with the following frequencies

40% 0 allele
30% A allele
30% B allele
A. On average, alleles will be lost because of selection against certain alleles
B. On average, alleles represented in the 5 individuals will be representative of underlying population proportions
C. On average, small samples provide good estimates of underlying proportions
D. On average, alleles A and B will be lost because starting frequencies were low
E. On average, any allele may be lost because of the drastic reduction in population size from thousands to 10 for two generations

Answer 1

e. On average, any allele may be lost because of the drastic reduction in population size from thousands to 10 for two generations

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a new habitat for this population, on average this proportion could lose alleles since we have the given proportion of alleles to almost be the same and for the fact that there is a great decrease in the population population would not mean that a particular allele could survive into the next generation.
