Bookmark On the Isle of Man off the coast of Ireland, a curious cat referred to as a manx cat was
described in 1845. It had long hind legs and a short tail. Further work showed that the manx
characteristics were the result of a dominant M allele at a single locus. An MM zygote would not
survive, but Mm genotypes produced the manx characteristics. Imagine a scenario where the M
allele arises by mutation on the Isle of Man. Explain how genetic drift could cause the M allele
to reach a relatively high frequency (freq(M) > 0.25), even though it has harmful effects on
fitness.
Solution
When the M allele is dominant and also deleterious when it is in the homozygous state. In the
heterozygote stage Mm, the deleterious M allele is hidden due to which the selection will not
eliminate it. The Mm genotypes are successful, so the frequency of M allele rises in the
population. So the genetic drift selection cannot eliminate the M allele completely.
