1. Consider a hypothetical locus with several segregating alleles. The population size is small,
mutation is absent, and none of the alleles has a selective advantage. Which of the following is

change over time, but all alleles will remain . Allele frequencies will remain constant Balancing
selection will maintain all the alleles Extra Credit: How did the melanistic K 8 mutation enter
