Explain how genetic drift affects populations

Biology
1 answer:
puteri [66]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Genetic drift decreases the genetic diversity within a specie's population. Genetic drift is a change in the allele frequencies due entirely to random chance and probability and is more likely to affect smaller populations and groups than larger ones. Genetic drift can also play a role in the development of a new species.

A forensic scientist is trying to find out the number of adenine in the DNA sample that he obtained from a crime scene.
Schach [20]
The forensic scientist can assume that the number of adenine is always equal to the number of thymine, according to the base pair rule. Adenine matches with the other purine pair, thymine because it is the only thing to which it could have a hydrogen bond with.

moderate temperatures and precipitation, as well as nutrient-rich soil due to annual leaf fall, characterize this biome.
Anna [14]

Moderate temperatures and precipitation, as well as nutrient-rich soil due to annual leaf fall, is characteristic of deciduous forest.

<h3>What exactly is a deciduous forest?</h3>
  • A forest that is mostly composed of trees that lose their leaves in the fall is known as a deciduous forest.
  • Among the varieties of deciduous trees found in Wyoming are aspen, cottonwood, box elder, ash, mountain ash, poplars, willows, fruit trees such the wild plum, and, less frequently, oak and maple.
  • Temperate deciduous woodlands are located in mid-latitude zones, or the areas between the arctic regions and the tropics.
  • This area has four distinct seasons since the deciduous forest areas are exposed to both warm and cold air masses.
