Selection Simulation

 

    When the allele that we are focused on increases its relative fitness then we can expect to see an increase in the allelic frequency. If this allele decreases its relative fitness we expect to see a decrease in the allelic frequency seen in the population. 

    The relative fitness of the other alleles in the population can influence how quickly the allelic frequencies change. 

    Genetic drift acts on a population randomly. There is a possibility that drift can completely take the allele that we are focused on out of the population. This was shown using a smaller population size during the simulation. Genetic drift has a much larger effect on a smaller population compared to a larger population.
