Reference no: EM13142648

A geneticist is studying three loci, each with one dominant and one recessive allele, in a small population of rare plants. She estimates the frequencies of the alleles at each of these loci as A = 0.55 , a = 0.45; B = 0.25, b = 0.75; C = 0.80, c = 0.2. What is the probability that all the recessive alleles (a, b, c) will be lost from the population through genetic drift?
