The average heterozygosity of the European Iguana from 1700 was 0.0567 across many loci. Looking at the samples from 1860, the estimate of heterozygosity has been dropped to 0.034. These European Iguana has 8 years of generation time. What is the effective population size that goes along with the drop of this heterozygosity?

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
