Answer:

C

Explanation:

Before the earthquake the gene pool of the parent population was bigger and carried different alleles for a lot of genes.

After the killing of 98% of the population, the surviving one has an incomplete representation of the original gene pool. We can think of this as a gene bottleneck ; the new allele frequencies will be different that the parental population. IE: broadness of stripes has a higher frequency after the earthquake.

What affects the likelihood that an allele will reach fixation in a population that has undergone a bottleneck?
Igoryamba
<span>the large population becomes smaller. also, bottleneck is when a large population quickly shrinks. the effects of genetic drift becomes much stronger. e.g: seals alleles can be lost during bottleneck and the number of alleles left can shift dramatically in just a few generations.</span>
