What else can I help you with?
What is the term for changes in allele frequency that that happen randomly from one generation to the next?
Genetic drift
Name the vocabulary term that describes the alteration of allelic frequencies by chance events alone?
Genetic drift.
Is genetic drift of product of genetic change?
Genetic drift is a product of random sampling. Like all forms of sampling or selection, variation within the sample set is required. Thus for genetic drift to occur genetic change (mutation) is required. However, it would be an error to call genetic drift a product of genetic change.
Genetic drift tens to occur in populations that?
Genetic drift has a larger effect on smaller populations.
Is genetic drift an adaptive change?
Genetic drift is considered a form of evolution. If a single population is split into two isolated groups then genetic drift will result in increasing differences over time. Eventually they will become two different species, unable to interbreed even if the two groups are brought back together.
What is the term for changes in allele frequency that that happen randomly from one generation to the next?
Genetic drift
Causes of Magnetic Drift?
causes of magnetic drift causes of magnetic drift causes of magnetic drift
Is genetic drift an example of macroevolution?
No, genetic drift is an example of microevolution.
What small genetic change such as a single mutation may result in?
genetic drift....
What are the causes of microevolution?
The same as the causes of so called macroevolution. The change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. By mutation, natural selection, genetic drift and gene flow. I would rip to pieces about half of the biology text books of America over this constant misunderstanding of evolutionary theory they perpetrate.
A random change in a population's allele frequency?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. By mutation, genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection.
How can a genetic drift be explained in biology?
A genetic drift is explained in biology as a gene variant changing frequency. Genetic drift can cause genes to disappear and not be passed onto the next generation.

Genetic drift tens to occur in populations that?
Genetic drift has a larger effect on smaller populations.
What four factors can cause evolution to occur?
Mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow can all contribute to evolution. Mutation introduces new genetic variations, natural selection favors specific traits for survival and reproduction, genetic drift causes random changes in allele frequencies, and gene flow introduces new genetic diversity through the movement of individuals between populations.
Gene frequencies in a gene pool may shift randomly and by chance This is called?
Genetic drift. It refers to the random fluctuation of gene frequencies in a population due to chance events, particularly in small populations. It can lead to the loss of genetic diversity and the fixation of certain alleles over time.
