Assume that a single locus with two alleles, alleles A1 and A2, are both neutral

Question

Assume that a single locus with two alleles, alleles A1 and A2, are both neutral. Twenty-five populations of N=100 are established, and the frequency of the A1 allele in each replicate population is 0.3. A) What is the expected value of p averaged across all populations in the next generation? B) What is the expected heterozygosity in one of these populations after 20 generations assuming that the population size remains constant?
