The correct answer is genetic drift has minimized the frequency of type A individuals.

Usually, genetic drift takes place in small populations, where infrequently happening alleles encounter with a greater chance of getting lost. Once it starts, genetic drift will continue until the involved allele is the only allele present in a population at a specific locus or until the allele involved is lost.

In the given case, allele A is lost due to genetic drift phenomenon.

Like plants, human beings have similarities and differences. God gave us talents which He wants us to use. What can you do best?
asambeis [7]
Well, humans have talents. Whether those talents are god given is up for debate. I'd argue those talents are a result of millions of years of evolution and natural selection as proven by Charles Darwin, not given by an unproven deity, but I don't know what school year you are in so you may not have escaped the years where religion is forced upon you :P

Anyway, if you're being asked this question, what do <em>you </em>like doing? I'd say my talent lies in science, as I was the top performing physicist throughout my gcse years, and I love the subject. In my opinion what you do best is what you love doing most, as if you have a passion for something it will almost always be your best talent. I can't answer that question for you.

Sharing this talent to others is basically teaching and also spreading your passion for your talent to others. They probably won't ever be as good as you because they will have their own talents and passions, but you can give them an insight into it by teaching them what you know and encouraging them to invest some time into it.

Why is a virus considered non living
nasty-shy [4]
Viruses are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.
