A fur color gene in rabbits has a white dominant (W) and brown recessive allele (w).The environment changes suddenly and none of the white rabbits survive.In a population of 10,000 rabbits the initial frequency of W in the pool was 0.7.How many generations would be required to eliminate all W alleles from the population? Assume that there is no mutation and the population meets all other Hardy-Weinberg conditions.
A)1
B)2
C)5
D)20

Since none of the white rabbits survive, all individuals with at least one W allele (WW or Ww) are eliminated in one generation, leaving only ww individuals.
