The probability that at some point in the future allele k will drift to a frequency of 1.0 is 0.5 because genetic drift is a random and non-directional mechanism of evolution that significantly alters the gene or allele frequency in any population.  

<h3>What is Genetic Drift?</h3>

Genetic drift may be defined as a mechanism of evolution in which allele frequencies of a population changes over generations due to chance (sampling error). It is more effective in small populations.

The outcome of genetic drift can not be predicted because it is a random and non-directional mechanism of evolution. It is possible that it fixes the allele k and makes its frequency 1.0, while it also alters the frequency of other alleles and makes the allele k eliminated from the given population. It is a process that depends on the phenomena of chance.

Therefore, it is well described above.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

<em>b. Generally, the quality of life is directly related to an area's energy use per person.</em>

Explanation:
