Why do you think it was important to have all experiments start with guppies from both stocking tanks rather than just one of the stocking tanks?

a. Stocking from both tanks is the only way to ensure enough guppies were presentfor robust data analysis

b. Because selection can only operate on alleles that are present in the population,using guppies from both stocking tanks ensured that the full range of alleles inthe natural population were also present in the experimental tank.
c. It was not important to have all experiment start with guppies from both stockingtanks.
