Model Description

This model shows how genetic drift affects allele frequencies in populations of different sizes. The key parameters are:

  • Population Size: Affects the strength of genetic drift
  • Mutation Rate: Introduces new variation
  • Selection Coefficient: Determines fitness differences

Key Insights

  1. Smaller populations experience stronger drift
  2. Selection is more effective in larger populations
  3. Neutral alleles can fix by chance alone
