You and your lab partner ran a simulation to demonstrate the changes in allele frequency over time
in a small and a large population. Your partner deletes the labels by accident and you need to figure
out which line represents which population and why. Select the correct response.

0.7

O The blue line represents the large population because the allele frequencies can change more freely in a large
population.
O The blue line represents the small population because small populations are more prone to genetic drift.
O The gray line represents the small population because the deviations in allele frequencies are directly
proportional to population size.
O There is not enough information to match the correct population sizes and the plotted line.
