Abstract
Gene survival in a population which increases without density dependence is considered using a generalization of the Moran model for haploid individuals in which we have differential reproductive rates. It is shown under very mild conditions that ultimate fixation is certain. This provides some mathematical support for the phenomenon of reduced genetic variability in isolated populations established from founder groups.
