Dodos were flightless birds that have been extinct for about 300 years. Imagine that biologists found two surviving dodos on present-day Earth and mated this pair of birds. What would you expect of the resulting dodo population?

A) The maximum number of alleles present for any gene in the new population is two.

B) Certain neutral mutations in this dodo population could become fixed, given the small population size.

C) Adaptations will occur in this population as a result of genetic drift.

D) Due to a population bottleneck, the frequency of alleles in this new dodo population may be very different from the frequencies expected in larger (now nonexistent) populations.
