Question:
What is most likely to occur with respect to the number of red-haired individuals on the island?
(A) There will be no change in the overall number of red-haired people in the population over time.

(C) It is likely that over many generations, the proportion of red-haired people in the population will increase.
(D) Red-haired people will probably decrease in the population over many generations.
A cruise ship with 500 people on board crashes on a deserted island. They like the island so much that they decide to stay. There is a small number of people on board with red hair, an autosomal recessive trait. Assume that red hair provides no increase in fitness.
