A new island population is founded by 5 animals. At a neutral locus, source allele frequencies are A = 0.50 and a = 0.50. The founders have A = 1.00. Which statement correctly predicts a consequence if the island remains isolated?
A
Allele a will reappear in the next generation because Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium requires both alleles.
B
Allele a is absent from the starting island gene pool and cannot reappear by random mating alone.
C
Allele A will disappear because fixed alleles are always selected against.
D
The source population must also become fixed for A after the founders leave.
