Melanin causes skin pigmentation, lowers the skin's ability to make vitamin D in response to sunlight exposure and some studies show that older adults with darker skin are at high risk of vitamin D deficiency

Explain the idea of genetic drift. How does natural selection effect genetic drift.

Anettt [7]

Genetic drift is defined as a shift in the allelic frequency of a population. This can be caused by natural selection which is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals across a population due to differences in phenotype. Natural selection favors particular traits in a population hence these individuals are able to reproduce while the individuals with disadvantageous traits will pass their genes to succeeding generations. This way the allelic frequency of succeeding generation will be diferent from that of the parent population.
