A) A textbook definition would be that genetic drift is: a random change in allele frequency caused by a series of chance occurences that cause an allele to become more or less common in a population. In layman's terms, this means that genetic drift happens when luck makes the genetic pool of the population to deviate from what is expected.
B) The cause for this genetic drift is the aformentioned couple. Because amish communities are small and they select partners from their community, having even a couple of carriers of alleles in a community can make the allele freuency much larger than expected; for example, if the community was 100 persons, the percentage would be in the order of 1%, still much larger than the general population. Thus, the cause here is that a small population had a couple of carriers.
C) Sexual reproduction leads to a mixing of alleles from both mother and father and helps diversity. When a population is isolated, the gene pool is fixed and no new genes can come in, reducing diversity. Also some people that have an allele might die, hitting diversity even more. Finally, having a small population creates a strong pressure in some circumstances that leads to elimination of some traits and diversity.

Answer:
Electrical>thermal>light
Explanation:
Electrical energy refers to energy which is gotten from potential energy. This energy source could be a wall socket.
Thermal energy on the other hand refers to internal energy of a system where temperature is constant.
Light energy is made up of photons which transmits electromagnetic radiation which move in waves and become visible to human eye.
Therefore, the energy transformation taking place according to the question is option D.
Evolution can be defined as the process of the change occurring in a population over a period of time through genetic variation. This genetic variation and the process of natural selection help a species to evolve by selecting the traits that helps it to better adapt to the environment. These genetic variations are inherited over time as the species continue to evolve.
Hence, the correct answer is 'change in population through genetic variation over time'.
