138546707651. 640 red eyes and 360 sepia 2. 16%?In a pop. of 1000 fruit flies, 640 have red eyes. The remainder have sepia eyes. Sepia eye color is recessive to red eye color. 1. What are the frequencies of the red and sepia alleles in this pop? 2. How many would you expect to be homozygous for red eye color?10

13854713337a few individuals become isolated from a larger pop. by chance and establish a new population whose gene pool differs from the source populationGenetic Drift: Founder Effect12
13854735219a severe drop in pop. size due to a sudden change such as a fire or flood. Allele frequencies in the surviving population may not represent the source pop. by chance aloneGenetic Drift: the bottleneck effect13
