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. 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 1 2 3 6. 7 8 9 10 4 5 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.
