You are studying a population of 500 sage grouse. You assay the population for diversity at a locus and observe there are four alleles with the following allele frequencies • Allele A = 0.250 Allele B=0.005 Allele C 0.550 • Allele D-0.195 Later you resample the population and discover the existence of a single new allele, found in only one bird. The population size is the same as before. What is the probabil that this new allele is fixed in the population? 0.001 0.005 0 (zero) 0.002

Question
You are studying a population of 500 sage grouse. You assay the population for diversity at a locus and observe there are four alleles with the following allele frequencies:
• Allele A = 0.250
• Allele B = 0.005
• Allele C = 0.550
. Allele D=0.195
Later you resample the population and discover the existence of a single new allele, found in only one bird. The population size is the same as before. What is the probability
that this new allele is fixed in the population?
0.001
