Question

The frosted flatwoods salamander (Ambystoma cingulatum)
is a threatened species native to southeastern US pine
forests. Its native habitat is highly fragmented, and it now
occurs only in a few small, isolated populations. Compare
the effect of population size on the proportion of
heterozygosity you expect to remain in two different
populations of this species:
a. What proportion of the original heterozygosity
would you expect to remain after 30 generations in a
population with an effective population size of 164
salamanders?
b. What proportion of the original heterozygosity would you expect to remain after
30 generations in a population with an effective population size of 37 salamanders?
