Ellis-van creveld syndrome is a recessive genetic disorder that includes the characteristics of short stature and extra fingers or toes. in the general population, this syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 150,000 live births. in a particular isolated population, however, the incidence of this syndrome among live births is 1 in 500.assume that both the isolated population and the general population are in hardy-weinberg equilibrium with respect to this syndrome. which of the following best describes the difference between the frequency of the allele that causes the syndrome in the general population and the frequency of the allele in the isolated population? a. the frequency of the ellis-van creveld allele is 0.002 in the isolated population and 0.66 in the general population, which suggests that selection for this trait is occurring in both populations. b. the frequency of the ellis-van creveld allele is 0.0447 in the isolated population and 0.0026 in the general population, showing that the rate of genetic mutation is highest among individuals in the isolated population. c. the frequency of the ellis-van creveld allele is 0.002 in the isolated population and 0.66 in the general population, which demonstrates gametic incompatibility between the populations. d. the frequency of the ellis-van creveld allele is 0.0447 in the isolated population and 0.0026 in the general population, which suggests that genetic drift has occurred in the isolated population.
