The smaller a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.
Genetic drift is an evolutionary term which refers to the random changes in a population's allele frequencies. These changes happen by chance due to the random selection of alleles from the genetic pool in each generation. Genetic drift can lead to either loss of some alleles or the fixation of others (100% frequency). The effect of genetic drift is stronger in smaller populations. This is because, the larger the population, the larger the sample size and the slower the result of genetic drift.
I promise to you I’m not lying the answer is D I just had this question
Answer:
The key to the adaptation of living beings on the planet is the adaptation to abiotic factors such as temperature, light, salinity, humidity; and to biotic factors, which are represented by the action of the other organisms.
Explanation:
Answer: Option D) Cells in multicellular organisms are specialized to perform certain functions.
Explanation:
Multicellular organisms include humans, reptiles, birds etc. While unicellular organisms include amoeba, paramecium etc
From the examples given, the cells of multicellular organisms are specialized in function in that:
- cells that perform similar functions are put together as tissues, organs or system e.g digestive system consists of the similar cells that help to break down food into pieces
On the other hand, unicellular organisms possess just one cell that do all the functions.
Thus, the difference between both is that cells in multicellular organisms are specialized to perform certain functions.
