The correct answer is option B, 50%

Let us take the following case:

Genotype of heterozygous parent - (Aa)

Genotype of homozygous parent – (aa)

Allele I  - (Aa)

Allele II – (aa)

The cross between the two is shown below:

Aa  X aa

Aa, Aa, aa, aa

There are 50 % Aa, and 50 % aa allele.  

Thus, the allele I (Aa) is 50 %.

Answer:

Genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift can also be referred to as allelic drift, it refers to the variation in allelic frequencies within a particular population over a period of time. It can also be referred to as the random fluctuations in the number of genotypes within a population. Genetic drift is not influenced by the environment and is usually more pronounced in a small population of organisms.

For example, a population of birds can consist of green feathers and blue feathers with the green feathers as the dominant allele, but as a result of random fluctuations, the offspring may all be with green feathers and hence could eliminate or reduce the allele responsible for blue feathers over time.
