A behavioral gene for boldness is found in a population of sea stars. Sea stars with the B allele (BB or Bb) are more bold while bb sea stars are skittish. The frequency of the B allele is at 10% in a population off the coast of San Diego. If drift were the only mechanism for evolution of this gene in this population, what would you expect the behavior of the sea stars to be after 100 generations? Skittish: drift will result in a 10% chance of extinction of the B-allele Bold: drift will result in a 10% chance of fixation of the B allele Skittish: drift will result in a 90% chance of extinction of the B-allele Bold: drift will result in a 90% chance of fixation of the B allele
