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 new moon occurs once every 29.5 days. Why must the Sun, Earth, and the Moon be aligned in order for the new moon to occur
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The sun, Earth and the moon are aligned, but because the moon's orbit is not exactly in the same plane as Earth's orbit around the sun, they rarely form a perfect line. When they do, we have a lunar eclipse as Earth's shadow crosses the moon's face.
