- Genetic drift

- Mutation

Answer:

The correct answer is microevolution.

Explanation:

Microevolution happens when there is a variation in the percentage of gene changes inside a set of inhabitants.

As its name tells us, <u>microevolution happens in a short period of time</u> and may simply be due to the fact that due to natural causes certain genes became stronger and more resistant from one generation to the other, or because within that population there was someone new who brought said improved gene. Other factors that can influence this small genetic change may be<u> migration, genetic drift or a single mutation. </u>

Therefore the answer to the given question is Microevolution.

Silvia has blond hair, even though her mother and father each have brown hair. What do we know about Silvia's parents? At least
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Each of her parents must have one recessive gene for blond hair color

Explanation:

  • Blond is a recessive trait
  • Since Silvia is blond this means she has both copies of the recessive gene for hair color
  • Therefore, both her parents have a recessive gene for blond hair and passed it down to her.
  • The parents don't have blond hair because their dominant gene for browns masks the recessive gene for blond.
