O The size of an idealized, randomly mating population that has the same heterozygosity as the actua population O The size of a population with the same heterozygosity as the actual population, but which does not lose heterozygosity over time O The size of an idealized, randomly mating population losing homozygosity at the same rate as the actual population O The size of an idealized, randomly mating population losing heterozygosity at the same rate as the actual population Submit) Answer saved to SimUText server. Q6.5. Which of the following is most likely to increase the effective size of a population? O Increasing the census population size and making the sex ratio less balanced O Increasing the census population size and making mating more random (i.e., less local) ODecreasing the census population size and making the sex ratio less balanced O Making the sex ratio more balanced and making mating less random (ie, more local) Submit Q6.6. f gametes from a gene pool combine randomly to make only a small number of zygotes, the allele frequencies among the zygotes may be quite different than they are in the gene poo. Why? The effects of natural selection are more pronounced in small populations.Explanation / Answer
Ans 5:
Effective population size simply means the number of individuals who mate and pass on genes to next generation.
To increase this, the number of males and females should be balanced. Also, mating should be random so that each individual has equal chances of passing offsprings to next generation.
By increasing census population size, Ne also increases .
So correct choice is (b):
Increasing the census population size and making mating more random.
