14. The diagrams above on the right side show plots with "average heterozygosity" on the y-axis. What pattern is NOT shown? A) The frequency of heterozygotes is at a maximum when allele frequencies are equal, such as p=q=0.5 for a biallelic system. B) Genetic drift in small populations tends to purge alleles, and some are at low frequency, both which tend to erode heterozygosity C) Large populations tend to maintain more alleles at equitable frequencies, which preserves heterozygosity D) All are true and shown by one or more of the graphs

14. The diagrams above on the right side show plots with "average heterozygosity" on the y-axis.
What pattern is NOT shown?
A) The frequency of heterozygotes is at a maximum when allele frequencies are equal, such as
p=q=0.5 for a biallelic system.
B) Genetic drift in small populations tends to purge alleles, and some are at low frequency, both which
tend to erode heterozygosity
C) Large populations tend to maintain more alleles at equitable frequencies, which preserves
heterozygosity
D) All are true and shown by one or more of the graphs
