Answer #1

A graph(below) which is showing how time to fixation of allele ( as a result of genetic drift) should vary as a function of Fst :-

Time to fixation of allele Fixation Index

As genetic drift increases homozygosity, which means that it increases inbreeding coefficient (F) thus it increases FST. Thus there is a direct relationship between genetic drift and FST. So, the graph is linear.
