Question

Which factors can prevent permanent fixation of an allele (i.e. maintain genetic diversity)? Hint: You're going to have to try different values than just those presented in the exercise--try to keep both alleles present!a. Gene Flow b. Genetic Drift c. Natural Selection d. Mutation

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is a) gene flow

Explanation:

Gene flow is any displacement of genes from one population to another. The gene flow includes a multitude of different types of events, such as pollen that is transported by air to a new destination or people who move to another city or another country. If genes are transported to a population where those genes did not exist, gene flow can be a very important source of genetic variability.
