Answer:

Eustachian tube

Explanation:

Eustachian tube is the auditory tube, that connects middle ear with nasopharynx. The main role of the Eustachian tube is to regulate and maintain the pressure in the ear (it equalizes the pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere). The tube is usually closed, but it opens when we swallow and chew. It also opens with positive pressure.

Blockage of the Eustachian tube can lead to discomfort or even hearing problems.

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.
