1. How does the genetic variation differ between “Parent” beakers and the respective derivative beakers? Meaning was the gene pool different in either Beaker #1 or Beaker #2 compared to the parent population?
How do the gene frequencies differ between Parent #1 and Beaker #1?
How do the gene frequencies differ between Parent #2 and Beaker #2?
2. How might your results differ if you sampled 75 alleles? What about 10 alleles?
