How could genetic drift explain differences in the genotype frequencies among the caucasian and aborigine populations?

1 answer:

7 0

Genetic drift occurs when there is no random mating across a population. This causes a change in allelic frequency due to a random sampling of the population.

As the aboriginal population explored the earth, a small part of the population became geographically isolated either due to continental drift and climate changes. As the isolated population grew bigger, they established their own gene pool. This resulted a change in genotypic frequencies from that of the aboriginal population.

Answer and explanation;

Slow spreading rate

Top middle- rift valley

Top Right- poorly- developed magma chamber

Rapid Speading rate

Top left- Swell

Top Right- Well- Developed magma chamber

Bottom middle- Diverging plates

Explanation;

-Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge.

-This is what happens at the mid-oceanic ridge where a divergent boundary is causing two plates to move away from one another resulting in spreading of the sea floor. As the plates move apart, new material wells up and cools onto the edge of the plates.

would a trait that has only two distinct phenotypes more likely be a single-gene trait or a polygenetic trait? How do you know?
