Answer:

B) when there is no selective pressure

Explanation:

Genetic drift refers to a chance act acting over genetic variations or alleles previously distributed evenly over a population, drastically altering the distribution. For example, if I had 100 rabbits with coats white, brown, gray and black and suddenly a disease broke that killed all my black and brown rabbits, the genetic variation allowing for brown and black coats would have disappeared. This is a chance act, as the black and brown rabbits were not intentionally affected. Also there was no selective pressure for rabbits to develop one coat color, that's why the genetic variation was distributed evenly. This is different from artificial selection, as the eradication of black and brown coats was due to a random event, we did not select the coat color like people do for artificial selection.

Many reasons are involved in this combination. First, as bone cancer is not easy to determine, doctors may have to use biopsy to have a first look, but it needs to be paired with x rays and different scnas to confirm and do it more acurately. Some bone infection may cause symptoms and imaging results that could be confused with bone cancer.Have in mind that <span>bone metastases can usually be diagnosed based on x-rays and other imaging tests.A combination of all the scans and X rays can help to detect bone cancer in different places of the body, as every method can show tumors in specific parts of the skeleton. </span>
