Jet streams are air currents blowing high above the Earth. These air currents are in the highest part of the atmosphere. Their speeds usually range from 129 to 225 kilometers per hour or 80 to 140 miles per hour. Jet streams are faster in winter when the temperature differences between tropical, temperate, and polar air currents are greater.

At most of the times in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, there are two jet streams: a subtropical jet stream centered at about 30 degrees latitude and a polar-front jet stream whose position varies with the boundary between polar and temperate air. During summer in the Northern Hemispheres, a reverse jet stream blows toward the west in tropical high altitudes.

Amoeba sisters video recap: Genetic Drift
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Genetic drift is simply a change in the frequency of alleles in a population.

Like shown in the comic A, there are different genes present on chromosomes. All of these genes are made up of a pair of alleles. These alleles determine the genotype and the resulting phenotype of an organism.

If none of the alleles is favored by the environment, then a population will have equal no.of all the variant forms of a trait. Like shown in the comic B, both the green and the grey animals are favored equally.

But if natural selection occurs and one form of the allele variant is favored, then a genetic drift will occur. Most of the organisms will have the alleles which are favored by the environment. Like shown in Comic C, where the grey alleles are favored more than the green alleles.
