the area titled Genotype Relative Fitness. Notice that the default is for all three genotypes to be set at 1.0. This indicates that all three genotypes have the same effect on survival and reproduction. Change the Genotype Relative Fitness of the rr genotype to 0.6.

If these conditions held constant – what would the expected heterozygosity be in thepopulation today (2018 to deal with a clean integer value for generations)?1b. In 1884 the population had grown to 106 when disaster struck the island. Of the 19 adult menon the island, 15 were in the same fishing boat that capsized, leaving only 4 adult men alive onthe island. These desperate times may have changed the sex ratio of the breeding population onthe island. Let’s say that now, each man fathered children with an average of 1.5 differentwomen (male:female ratio of 1:1.5). If we start back with a heterozygosity of 0.5 from this point,given the effective population size on Tristan da Cunha, what is the expected heterozygosity inthe current population 7 generations later?1c. The scenarios described in 1a and 1b are examples of which two evolutionary phenomena,respectively?
