I. Human pituitary prolactin has considerable structural similarity to human growth hormone and human chorionic somatomammotropin (hCS).

II. Structurally similar prolactin are secreted by the endometrium and by the placenta.

III. prolactin secretion is increased during pregnancy, reaching a peak at the time of parturition.

IV. The human prolactin receptor resembles the oxytocin receptor.

One thousand independent populations of Drosophila are established with 25 individuals in each population, of which, one individual is of Aa genotype and the other nine are of AA genotype. If random genetic drift is the only mechanism acting on these populations, then, after a large number of generations, the expected number of populations fixed for the "a" allele is
