Screaming Pandas are a highly endangered if annoying creature that you want to conserve for future generations. If there are only 25 surviving pandas in your care:

a) How much heterozygosity will be lost in the next generation? (Hint: use the formula given in lecture).

b) What might the long-term consequences be of this loss of genetic diversity, and why?

c) What if anything can you do topreventthis decrease in heterozygosity?

formula given:Hg+1 = Hg (1 - (1/2N)) where N = population size
