Imagine a hypothetical population of 100 individuals that is completely isolated

Imagine a hypothetical population of 100 individuals that is completely isolated from other populations. This population has two alleles (A and a) at a particular locus and there are are no fitness differences between the AA, Aa, and aa genotypes. Assume no mutation can occur in this population. Given these conditions, what will happen to genetic variation at this locus? a. Increase through genetic drift b. Become lost due to genetic drift c. Become a stable polymorphism d. Be maintained due to the absence of selection e. Become lost due to lack of selection
