Consider the following haploid Wright-Fisher populations: [10]

a. What is the chance of fixation and the chance of loss of the A1 allele after one generation of drift, where:

i. f_(A_1 ) = 0.75, N = 10 [2]

ii. f_(A_1 ) = 0.75, N = 1000 [2]

iii. Where A1 is a new mutation and N = 10 [2]

iv. Where A1 is a new mutation and N = 100 [2]

b. The chance that a new mutation is lost due to drift converges on Pr(X = 0) = e-1 with increasing N. Confirm this by comparing this value with the chance of loss of a single-copy allele in haploid populations where N = 100, 500, 2000 and 10000 [2].
