Respuesta :
In the population with a large number of individuals, the mutation would only have a small impact, while a population with only 18 individuals would result in a very large i off as the mutation would be in a greater percentage of the population.
Answer:
The scientists could predict the relationship between the rate of spreading of mutation and population size.
For example, the mutation would spread at a faster rate in a small population of 18 individuals. In the relatively small duration of time, the mutation can spread in the entire population
Whereas in a larger population such as 147 individuals the mutation would spread at a much slower rate.
