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.

Answer:

Reproduce.

Explanation:

Almost all living being on the earth has the mentality to continue the race. This is why many say that humans, as well as animals, are sex-driven, and that in growing up, their sexual hormones will also become bigger (until it reaches its peak somewhere around early middle-age). Without this mentality, the group will always die out. Their next mentality is similar, to survive. This mentality essentially is just adding more steps to the first one, to survive long enough to reproduce and continue the race.
