The treeʹs horizontal axis is a timeline that extends from 100,000 years ago to the present; the vertical axis represents nothing in particular. The labeled branch points on the tree (V—Z) represent various common ancestors. Letʹs say that only since 50,000 years ago has there been enough variation between the lineages depicted here to separate them into distinct species, and only the tips of the lineages on this tree represent distinct species.

Which of the five common ancestors, labeled V—Z, has been least successful in terms of the percent of its derived species that are extant?

Consider an autosomal locus with two alleles A1 and A2 at frequencies of 0.6 and 0.4 respectively. Each generation, A1 mutates to A2 at a rate of μ = 1 x 10-2 while A2 mutates to A1 at a rate of υ = 1 x 10-1) Assume that the population is infinitely large and no other evolutionary force is acting. The overall change in allelic frequency will be
