Question

In Kerr and Wright's experiment with 96 fruit-fly populations, only 4 males and 4 females bred in each generation. After 16 generations, 73% of their populations had only one allele present for the bristle morphology gene. Which of the following would you expect to occur if they allowed 10 males and 10 females to breed in each generation?
About 73% of the populations would have only one allele for the bristle morphology gene.
Less than 73% of the populations would have only one allele present.
More than 73% of the populations would have only one allele present.
All of the populations would have only one allele present.

Explanation / Answer

2. Less than 73% with a larger population sample, the outcome will be closer to the predicted outcome
