Question

You visit a huge city with millions of people. If you were to start sampling the cystic fibrosis allele from one generation to the next, what should happen to its frequency over the next few generations, and why? the allele frequency should change a lot from one generation to the next due to random genetic drift. the allele frequency should not change much from one generation to the next because the population is large. the allele frequency should steadily increase due to natural selection. the allele frequency should steadily decrease due to natural selection.

Explanation / Answer

Answer :The allele frequency should not change much from one generation to the next because the population is large.

Explanation: In case of large population there would be no chance of genetic drift ( the change in the frequency of the allele due to random sampling ),so there would be no changes in allel frequencies.
