Imagine an island archipelago where all of the islands are f

Imagine an island archipelago where all of the islands are founded by individuals heterozygous at a particular locus. If there is no migration or mutation, and the alleles at that locus are neutral, what do you expect the island populations to look like after many generations? a. The island populations will have high levels of genetic diversity at this locus. b. The populations on every island will have fixed the same allele c. Some island populations will have fixed one allele, and other populations will have fixed the other allele d. We cannot predict any outcome because genetic drift is a random process

Solution

The correct answer is Some island populations will have fixed one allele, and other other populations have fixed the other allele

Whenn all but one allele go extinct and only one remains, that allele is said to be fixed. There is no migration or mutation and alleles at that locus are neutal,then it is the only variant that exists for all gene in all populations and it is fixed
