WHAT IF? In 2005, Icelandic scientists reported findinga large chromosomal inversion present in 20% of northern Europeans, and they noted that Icelandic womenwith this inversion had significantly more children thanwomen without it. What would you expect to happento the frequency of this inversion in the Icelandicpopulation in future generations?
