Imagine a population evolving by genetic drift, in which the frequency of allele k is 0.8. what is the probability that at some

point in the future allele k will drift to a frequency of 1.0

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.

Isolation can be due to behavioral, geographical, or temporal barriers. <span>Speciation can take place in two general ways. A single species may change over time into a new form that is different enough to be considered a new species. This process is known as anagenesis. More commonly, a species may become split into two groups that no longer share the same gene pool. This process is known as cladogenesis. There are several ways in which anagenesis and cladogenesis may take place. In all cases, reproductive isolation occurs. Hope this helps! </span>
