Let us take a random example, which is genetic drift.
A small population of beetles are on a small island. Some few are green, recessive, (gg) and most are brown, dominant (Bg and BB). So you see that the majority of the population are brown, which also happens to be the adaptively favored color. Bird populations go through a boom on this island and almost all the green beetles are eaten. The allele frequency will change through this random process of genetic drift.
Genetic drift is the random change in allele frequencies in a population. It is caused by chance events and has more pronounced effects in small populations where genetic diversity is lower. Over time, genetic drift can lead to the loss of certain alleles or fixation of others in a population.
Random changes in allele frequency are due to genetic drift.
Generation-to-generation change in allele frequencies in a population is known as evolution. This change can be the result of various factors such as natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and mutation. Over time, these processes can lead to the emergence of new traits and variations within the population.

Allele frequencies can change in a rat population through genetic drift, natural selection, gene flow, and mutations. These can lead to an increase or decrease in the frequency of certain alleles within the population over time.
Random change in allele frequency is called genetic drift.

Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. By mutation, genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection.

FOR PENNFOSTER....the answer is C) genetic drift
allele
C:Genetic drift
genetic drift
No. Genetic mutations lead to changes in the gene. This results in a (possible) new allele. Genetic drift is the change in frequency of an allele in the population due to chance. The smaller the population the bigger the chance on genetic drift (like it is more likely to coin flip 10 heads in a row then 1000 heads) while on the other hand the bigger the population the bigger the chance new alleles will be created by mutations.
