- Define gene pool and population.arrow_forwardThe Mauritius kestrel is found on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. In 1974, the population went through a bottleneck of one male and one female. The population had fewer than 10 birds throughout the 1970s and did not increase in size until the 1990s. Assume that the population size was 5 birds for 4 generations and estimate what proportion of the original heterozygosity remained in the population after the bottleneck. Report your answer as a proportion to the nearest 0.001. Type your answer... DDarrow_forwardDoes having a dominant allele mean that it will be found in greater frequency in the population?
