Multiple Choice

Refer to the figure.
Simulations, in which it was assumed that the populations were subject to only genetic drift (no selection) , were performed using three different starting population sizes, and they were scored for the frequency of the B allele. All populations started with the frequency of 50% of the B allele. Each line represents a different replicate of the conditions. The three panels differ only in the population size. Which graph is of populations with the largest population size?

• A) A
• B) B
• C) C
• D) A and B had roughly equal population sizes, which were larger than those in panel C.
