Loss of alleles with strong selective disadvantage in finite populations
Trajectory of a strongly deleterious (s =
-0.100) mutant allele in multiple populations (N = 100 @). From an initial fA =
1/200 = 0.005, the allele is rapidly eliminated,
rising by chance to as high as fA
> 0.04 in only one
replicate.
