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.

What is an example of genetic drift APEX?
Random Chance
Which of the following events do biologists consider a random change?
you do not provide any choices, so it is impossible to answer your question as stated.
What is the Random change in a populations allele frequency is known?
Random change in allele frequency is called genetic drift.
What is the source of genetic variation that refers to random error in the genetic code?
Mutations
What causes genetic drift?
random chance.
What is genetic drift-?
Genetic drift is the random change in the frequency of alleles within a population's gene pool. It can cause the genetic composition of a population to change in one direction or another. Combined with natural selection, genetic drift is a principal force in biological evolution.Another Answer:Genetic drift is where random chance events which can effect the gene's abundance in a population, regardless of whether the gene is advantageous or not. For example, a natural disaster kills animals indiscriminately, regardless of their genetic makeup.
What are the changes of allele frequency in a small population that is due to random chance and don't follow the laws of probability?
Random changes in allele frequency are due to genetic drift.
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 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 are random unpredictable events in genetics?
Mutation, and Genetic drift.
Is raising one eyebrow genetic?
No, raising one eyebrow does not appear to be genetic. As it is not an inherited trait, more of a random 'skill'.
Do bacteria genetic material change?
Bacteria cells have their own genetic material.
