The right answer is Vitamin B9 (folic acid).

Before and during pregnancy, supplementation with folic acid (or folate, or vitamin B9) is recommended. A deficiency in this vitamin can indeed be at the origin of serious malformations of the nervous system of the fetus such as spina bifida. The ideal is to start supplementation at the earliest because the nervous system develops in the first weeks of pregnancy.

Evolution can be guided by random processes. What is the effect called when some genotypes are lost in a small population over t
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift is defined as the random change in allelic frequencies from one generation to the other.

Genetic drift is an evolutionary mechanism in which the allelic frequencies in a population change through many generations. Its effects are harder in a small-sized population, meaning that this effect is inversely proportional to the population size. Genetic drift results in some alleles loss, even those that are beneficial for the population, and the fixation of some other alleles by an increase in their frequencies. The final consequence is to <u>randomly</u> fixate one of the alleles. Low-frequency alleles are the most likely to be lost. Genetic drift results in a loss of genetic variability within a population.  

Genetic drift has important effects on a population when this last one reduces its size dramatically because of a disaster -bottleneck effect- or because of a population split -founder effect-.
