Answer: False.

Genetic drift is a stochastic process that occurs randomly through time. It refers to random fluctuations in allele frequencies due to chance events (small population size).

Explanation: Factors that can affect genetic diversity are Genetic drift, mutation, selection, migration, non-random mating and recombination.

Of these factors, forces that majorly control the fate of genetic variation in populations are genetic drift and natural selection.

Genetic drift refers to random fluctuations in allele frequencies due to chance events (small population size).

Natural selection involves environmental conditions acting on wild plant or animal populations or species. Most fit in a selection refers to genotype or phenotype with greater average reproductive output over it's lifespan than other genotypes or phenotypes.

How do pedigrees show traits?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

By analyzing a pedigree, we can determine genotypes, identify phenotypes, and predict how a trait will be passed on in the future. The information from a pedigree makes it possible to determine how certain alleles are inherited: whether they are dominant, recessive, autosomal, or sex-linked.

Answer:

Genetic Mutation

Explanation:

Speciation can be driven by evolution, which is a process that results in the accumulation of many small genetic changes called mutations in a population over a long period of time.

There are a number of different mechanisms that may drive speciation.

Two of them to point out here.

1. natural selection

2. genetic drift

genetic drift describes random fluctuations in allele frequencies in populations, which can eventually cause a population of organisms to be genetically distinct from its original population and result in the formation of a new species.
