The cj bacteria in the chickens at monita farms have a high frequency of the allele that causes fq resistance. if genetic drift was the cause, would this allele also be in bacteria at the original farm?

Question: The cj bacteria in the chickens at monita farms have a high frequency of the allele that causes fq resistance. if genetic drift was the cause, would this allele also be in bacteria at the original farm? 

If genetic drift was the cause of the high frequency of the allele that causes fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance in CJ bacteria at Monita Farms, it is not necessarily true that the allele would also be present in the bacteria at the original farm. Genetic drift refers to random fluctuations in the frequency of alleles within a population over time, and it can result in the loss of alleles in some populations and the fixation of alleles in others. Therefore, it is possible that the allele causing FQ resistance was not present or at a lower frequency in the original farm population and became fixed in the Monita Farms population due to genetic drift or other factors.
