Answer:

Genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift can also be referred to as allelic drift, it refers to the variation in allelic frequencies within a particular population over a period of time. It can also be referred to as the random fluctuations in the number of genotypes within a population. Genetic drift is not influenced by the environment and is usually more pronounced in a small population of organisms.

For example, a population of birds can consist of green feathers and blue feathers with the green feathers as the dominant allele, but as a result of random fluctuations, the offspring may all be with green feathers and hence could eliminate or reduce the allele responsible for blue feathers over time.

What form of natural selection is acting on beak length in soapberry bug populations feeding on the different fruits?soapberry b
Lilit [14]
Bugs with shorter bills had more access to sustenance, enabling them to deliver all the more posterity. Bugs that happened to have short breaks were better ready to feast upon the little organic products. Their expanded access to nourishment enabled them to deliver all the more posterity, which likewise had little snouts. In any case, bugs with little bills did not emerge so as to feast upon the little natural products. Transformative change comes to fruition as the extent of people in the populace showing a specific characteristic increments from age to age. The characteristic does not change step by step in all individuals from the populace.

kkurt [141]

Answer: Excess ethanol metabolism leads to an accumulation of NADH that inhibits fatty acid metabolism.
