Neco Model Questions Vol1 2018 Biology Question 14
Practice objective / multiple choice question 14 from the 2018 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
In a population of 200 individuals, the frequency of allele \(A\) was \(0.50\) five generations ago and is \(0.55\) in the present generation. Assuming random mating, the expected standard deviation of allele‑frequency change due to genetic drift in one generation is \(\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{2N}}\), where \(p\) is the allele frequency and \(N\) the effective population size. Determine whether the observed change could be attributed to genetic drift alone (choose "drift" or "selection").
