Question

Researchers monitored an isolated population of a rare species of orchid (Isotria
medeoloides) and counted the number of flowering (breeding) individuals each year for
six years.
Year # breeding individuals
2018 15
2019 17
2020 25
2021 16
2022 11
2023 12
a. What is the effective population size of this population of orchids? Round your
answer to a whole number.
b. What proportion of the original heterozygosity would you expect to remain in
this population of orchids after another 10 generations?

Please show all work

proportion of original heterozygosity remaining = Ht/H0 = (H1)t = [1-(1/2Ne)]t
effective population size = Ne = [4(Nf*Nm)]/(Nf + Nm)
effective population size = Ne = t/(1/N1 + 1/N2 + ... + 1/Nt)
