Genetic drift is one of the driving forces behind evolution. It describes the way that certain traits in a population might flourish or vanish by chance, because individuals with these traits happen to breed most offspring or not breed at all. Genetic drift tends to rapidly reduce genetic divers...

Genetic drift, the name given to these random changes, affects evolution in two important ways. One is as a dispersive force that removes genetic variation from populations. The rate of removal is inversely proportional to the population size, so genetic drift is a very weak dispersive force in...
Genetic drift can also affect plant evolution. Which of the following best describes genetic drift? A. It is a planned change in the genetic makeup of a plant population. B. It is a random change in the frequency of genes in a plant population due to chance events. C. It is a ...
Evolution:Evolution is a process that changes a population over time. During evolution, the genetic makeup of a population changes and over time this can create new species.Answer and Explanation: The evolutionary outcome of genetic drift is that there is decreased allele variability. Genetic drift...
Randomgenetic drifthas certainly played a big role in human evolution. 随机遗传漂变在人类进化过程中无疑起到了很大的作用. 互联网 Genetic driftcan even counteract natural selection. 遗传漂变甚至可以抵消自然选择. 互联网 Moreover, "genetic drift、 the neutral theory and molecular evolution " also are...
Genetic drift plays an important role in conservation biology where it is one of the factors that determines the minimal viable population size of a species. Genetic drift is also at the heart of the shifting-balance theory of evolution and of the neutral theory of molecular evolution. 展开 ...
If foraging strategies are sometimes placed on fitness plateaus, rather than steep adaptive peaks, genetic drift may make traits meander in random directions, before an animal falls down the cliff of severe fitness loss. In small populations, the effects of evolutionary chance should be especially ...
Selectionandgeneticdrift：选择和遗传漂变 Selection and genetic drift Introduction There are three basic facts about genetic drift that I really want you to remember,even if you forget everything else I’ve told you about it:1.Allele frequencies tend to change from one generation to the next ...
