Genetic drift is a change in allele frequencies caused by random events.Therefore in this case the correct answer is the change in allele frequencies caused by random events. Genetic drift is one of the basic mechanism of evolution along with natural selection, mutation and migration. In each generation, several individuals may randomly leave behind a few more descendants than other individuals. Genetic drift occurs when the occurrence of variant forms of a gene (allele) increases or decreases by chance over time.

A cylinder with a mass of 12 g has a radius measuring 2 cm and a height of 6 cm. What is its density? 0.05 g/cm3 0.16 g/cm3 1 g/
valina [46]
Given:
m = 12 g, the mass of the cylinder
r = 2 cm, the radius of the cylinder
h = 6 cm, the height of the cylinder.

Calculate the volume, V, of the cylinder.
V = πr²h
   =  π*(2 cm)²*(6 cm)
   = 75.398 cm³

By definition,
density = mass/volume.

Therefore,
density = m/V
             = (12 g)/(75.398 cm³)
             = 0.159 g/cm³
             = 0.16 g/cm³ (nearest hundredth)

Answer: 0.16 g/cm³

How might the increase of volcanic eruptions affect Earth?
vodka [1.7K]
If enough ejecta (mainly ash) is sent into the upper atmosphere, the dust particles will block solar energy causing a decrease in temperature. This has happened in the past. Look for the year without summer caused by a volcanic eruption.
