Considerable genetic polymorphismB. Very low levels of genetic variationC. Very few heterozygous individualsD. Differences in allele frequency between current populations of sea lions and historical populationsE. All the above would be seen in sea lions.

    a. Considerable genetic polymorphism.

    Explanation:

    In the increase of the new population of sea lions, there will be some differences among individuals, due to their genetic inheritance.

    But since they come from the same group of ancestors and they reproduce in the same area, with the same environmental conditions, it is expected to be some genetic variations, but not a lot to be considerable.
