Variation in gene frequencies within populations can occur by chance rather than by natural selection. This is referred to as
Options
- Agenetic flow
- Bgenetic drift
- Crandom mating
- Dgenetic load
Correct answer
B. genetic drift
Step-by-step solution
Genetic drift is a random change in allele frequencies over the generations. It is brought by chance alone. Gene flow or gene migration is the physical movement of alleles into and out of a population. The existence within the population of disadvantages alleles in heterozygous genotypes is known as genetic code.
