      Genetic Drift over Time in smaller versus
                  larger populations
                
        
      From an initial
            q = 0.50 in each of 20 populations with either
          2N = 18 or 100
          starting individuals,
          q = f(A) diverges at random over time from the
          starting value, and the divergence in more rapid among smaller
          populations than larger. Where 2N = 18, several
          populations reached either loss (q = 0.0) (n = 5)
          or fixation (q = 1.0) (n = 7) of the allele in less
          than 20 generations, whereas in the right-hand graph, all
          populations maintain both alleles after the same time.
