Gene 1 Gene 2 Gene 3 Gene 4 Gene 5 Gene 6 Gene 7 Population 1 Heterozygosity Population size 0 14 0 09 0 11 0 21 0 00 0 34 0 00 No of alleles 4 2 3 3 1 5 1 The two populations are found in very similar environments e g similar resources same predators The populations differ in population size as follows Population 1 600 Population 2 Heterozygosity No of alleles 6 12 7 9 7 6 8 0 32 0 37 0 24 0 33 0 36 0 32 0 31 Population 2 420 000 Given this information what is the likely cause of the differences in genetic variation among these populations Natural selection is acting differently on these populations Mating is not random in Population 1 Genetic drift in Population 1 has reduced genetic variation through increased fixation Genetic drift in Population 2 has reduced genetic variation through increased fixation
