The correct answer is genetic drift has minimized the frequency of type A individuals.

Usually, genetic drift takes place in small populations, where infrequently happening alleles encounter with a greater chance of getting lost. Once it starts, genetic drift will continue until the involved allele is the only allele present in a population at a specific locus or until the allele involved is lost.

In the given case, allele A is lost due to genetic drift phenomenon.

20 percent available at the highest tropic level. There is less at the top of the food chain because it has ate things from possibly all areas of the food chain and each level is consuming from lower parts of the chain than it. So with the entire food chain eating on what the top eats there is gonna be less for the top
