Question

Below are four factors that could affect a population. Indicate 'yes' if the factor could alter allele frequencies, or 'no' if it would not alter allele frequencies in the population. Group of answer choices

a. genetic drift
b. natural selection
c. gene flow
d. mutation

Answer 1

a) genetic drift - yes

b) Natural selection - yes

c) Gene flow - yes

d) Mutation - yes

Step-by-step explanation:

factor that alter the allele frequencies are

a) genetic drift - yes

b) Natural selection - yes

c) Gene flow - yes

d) Mutation - yes

Genetic drift - Alter occur due to sampling error or selecting error. in this some error occur while deciding for the allele for the next generation.

Natural selection - it is due to large number of one type of allele in the population

Gene flow - it alter because of migration of allele among the populations.

Mutation - it is strong for introduction of new alleles in the population
