The MDM2 protein in its active form can form a complex with p53, inhibiting the transcription factor and causing p53 ubiquitinylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation, ATM phosphorylates MDM2 to inactivate it, causing increased stabilization of p53, but there is one another gene or key regulator which controls the level of MDM2;

Biologists performed an experiment with flies to examine the effects of population size on the maintenance of genetic variation  and  on  egg-to-adult survival.  From  a  large  source  population, they  randomly  assigned  eggs  to  three experimental  populations  of  size  N,  equal  to  20,  60,  and0100.  For  later  generations,  they  collected  N  eggs  from each  population  and  moved  them  into  identical  vials  that  co0ntained  f2re0sh  me4d0ium.  Th6e0y  coun8te0d  the  number  of adult flies that emerged and used tissue samples from the adults for genetic analyses. Genetic variation was measured by  scoring  alleles  at  several  polymorphic  loci  and  expressed  as  the  average  number  of  alleles  at  those  loci.  The results are summarized in Figure 1 and Figure 2 below.

The numbers of adult flies that emerged from the three populations in the first generation are closest to which of the following?
