Answer:

The oesophagus is the pipe that connects the pharynx to the Stomach.

The muscle found at the lower region of the esophagus is not able to close. This then allows the stomach acid and digested food to move back up into the esophagus.

This anomaly thereby results in discomfort. In most cases there are no serious health challenges relating to it.

Gene flow and genetic drift both affect allele frequencies in a population. A high level of gene flow into a population genetic
DaniilM [7]

A high level of gene flow into a population increases genetic diversity in a population. A high level of gene flow out of a population decreases genetic diversity in a population. Genetic drift is the change in allele frequencies due to "sampling error" factors. Typically, genetic drift has the biggest impact on small populations.

Gene flow (or gene migration) is a mechanism of evolution (change the allele frequencies) which transfers genetic variation among populations due to migration. High level of gene flow decreases the genetic differentiation between the two populations.

Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution that acts by chance (“sampling error”) often when a population is reduced in size by a natural disaster (bottleneck effect) or when a small group leaves the main population and forms a colony (founder effect).
