Lelu [443]

Answer:

Genetic drift does not take into account an allele's adaptive value to a population, and it may result in loss of a beneficial allele or fixation (rise to 100% frequency) of a harmful allele in a population.

What pattern of population growth corresponds to the principle of a carrying capacity? what pattern of population growth corresp
inna [77]

The answer is logistic growth. It is modeled by an S-shaped curve.  Carrying capacity (K) is the maximum individuals of a population that a habitat can sustain indefinitely given the limited resources in the environment.  Before this number is achieved, the population grows exponentially and slows as it gets close. When the K number is reached, the stationary phase enters.
