For two populations to remain genetically homogenized, a significant proportion of the population of each must be exchanged at least every other generation
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
FALSE
Explanation: Remarkably little genetic exchange is necessary to keep two populations from diverging in allele frequencies by genetic drift. Theory suggests that as little as one migrant every other generation is sufficient to maintain similar allele frequencies.
