Best Answer

The process of genetic transformation is the ability to move DNA into an organism and thereby alter its genotype or genetic makeup is central to both basic and applied molecular Biology. Genes derived from unrelated species and even other kingdoms, such as bacteria, fungi, plants, animals, that would otherwise be inaccessible to an organism, can be combined in the lab using genetic transformation techniques

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.

Mutation, and 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.


Species drift to form a new species?

I think you mean genetic drift. Genetic drift is not strong enough in itself to cause speciation generally. Genetic drift is merely a sampling error in allele frequency change due to random events.


Why does genetic drift decrease the genetic diverstity of a population?

If I'm not mistaken genetic drift is the random change in the genome of a population over time. This being said it would be possible that this random changing could eventually remove certain diversity from a population.


Is the English peppered moth the example of random genetic drift?

The English Peppered Moth is a result of natural selection, not random genetic drift. This moth evolved because of the light colors of lichens on trees in their habitats.
