it depends... If Kimura his right in The Neutral Theory of Genetic drift,
either genes have the same chance to be fixed in the resulting population.

Speaking of Bias ... if there is one in Biology is the

the original Kimura book on the subject, should do it [not stand-up],
despite the numerous mathematical calculations [Science??].
