The effective size of a population is:
Solution
The number of individuals that reproduce and thereby contribute offsprings to the next
generation is termed effective population size (Ne). Effective size of a population is lower than
the population observed ecologically. Under ideal conditions, the effective population is equal to
the census population (Nc). These ideal conditions are-
i) All individuals have the ability to reproduce and the number of males is equal to the number of
females. Mating should be random and the number of breeding individuals is constant through
all generations.
ii) Variation in the number of individuals produced is only by chance.
