How does genetic drift affect small populations differently than large populations?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer/ Explanation:

In small populations, the relative effect of genetic drift is higher because deleterious alleles can become more frequent by chance, and less common alleles have a greater chance of being permanently lost. This reduces the genetic variation in the population.

Large populations are less likely to change quickly as a result of genetic drift, this is due to chance

A space vehicle accelerates uniformly from 85 m/s at t = 0 to 164 m/s at t = 10.0 s .How far did it move between t = 2.0 s and t

creativ13 [48]

First, we have a change in the velocity from 85 to 164 m/s in 10 sec.

Then, we calculate the acceleration as:

$a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i} }{t} =\frac{164-85}{10}=7.9 m/s^2$
