What is the difference between genetic drift and natural selection?

1 answer:

4 0

A) Genetic drift is the random increase or decrease of genes in a population. Natural selection is not random.

Genetic drift is the change in the frequencies of alleles in a population due to chance events (random survival). Genetic drift exhibits strong effects in small populations and plays a smaller role the larger the population gets. Natural selection is the non-random change in the frequency of alleles in a population over time, because the change in frequency of the alleles is dictated by the different relative fitnesses that different alleles confer.

Janet installed a dimmer on the lights in her bedroom. She slid the dimmer switch, causing the resistance in the circuit to

Anton [14]

Answer: The correct answers are option(b) and(d).

Explanation:

When the lamp was dimmer the resistance offered by the lamp was more which just resist the flow current from the circuit.

$V=RI$ (Ohm's Law)

When the Janet decrease the resistance to (R') by sliding the dimmer switch (voltage remained constant). On decreasing the resistance the flow of current in circuit will increase by which light of the lamp will become brighter.

Hence, from the enlisted options the correct options option(b) and(d).
