How could genetic drift explain differences in genotype frequencies among populations?

5 0

If a population experiences a form of genetic drift, then their genome/genetic code would change. This then can cause the frequency to follow as well. Best example I can think of right now is moths in the Industrial Revolution: all of the soot released into the air caused the moths to be easily seen by birds that ate them (they were all white). This then caused those that were darker, like dark brown to match its new surroundings, weren't eaten by the birds because they could blend in. This caused the phenotype frequency (and therefore genotype) to change to having dark moths being more common than light. And we still see that today! Most moths are still dark brown.

Strengthening some synapses and weakening others establishes neural circuits that contain memories; the low-frequency stimulation of synaptic inputs to a cell can decrease their strength in a phenomenon known as long-term depression.

The effect of long-term depression can arise from neural effect of synapses. The synaptic impulses start to decrease gradually when a person is suffering from long-term depression. This decreased neural synapses arise from long-term exposure to stress that is chronic. It can also stem from anxiety. The continuous exposure of the neurons to stress and anxiety can also lead to degeneration and depletion of the cells present in the nervous system. Also the cortisol levels rise during depression and it is regulated by the hippocampus. This leads to a delay or restriction in the developing neurons inside the brain. Long-term depression can lead to increased chances of getting addicted to alcohol or drugs.
