What is an effect of genetic drift on a gene pool?

Biology
1 answer:
Ahat [919]3 years ago
4 0

Genetic drift happens by chance and can make an allele disappear completely from a gene pool, even if it was a desirable trait that should have been passed down to offspring. The random sampling style of genetic drift shrinks the gene pool and therefore alters the frequency the alleles are found in the population.

devlian [24]
Lipid bilayer model was proposed for its structure but it was modified and new structure is according to fluid mosaic model. Plasma membrane is selectively permible as it selects small molecules like lipid etc (composition is also of lipid and as solubility principle like dissolve like) so large and charged molecules like plasma and ion can't pass through it. Lipid are in form of layer so at the chain when ever other phosphate group attach the place conjugate molecule (phospholipid ) formed

Why is tall grass prairie north america's rarest biome? historically it only occurred in a very tiny region of north america. be
OLEGan [10]
The answer is - because over 90% of this biome has been converted to agriculture.

This biome has been much larger before the development of the agriculture in this part of the USA, but because this biome provided large territories with deep fertile soil and predominantly lowland areas, people started using it for agriculture because it was the most suitable for that. So little by little, the biome was declining and more and more of it was becoming agricultural land.
