A gene is represented in the gene pool of a population of 10,000 individuals by a dominant (W)and recessive allele (w).If the initial frequency of W in the pool is 0.7,how many generations of complete selection against it 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
E)can never be eliminated
