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 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 is the Random change in a populations allele frequency is known?

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.


Are mutations in genetic material random?

Yes, mutations in genetic material are generally considered to be random events that can occur spontaneously or be caused by external factors like radiation or chemicals.


What are random unpredictable events in genetics?

Random unpredictable events in genetics include mutations (changes in DNA sequences), genetic recombination (reshuffling of genetic material during meiosis), and genetic drift (random changes in allele frequencies in a population). These events can lead to variation among individuals and can impact the evolution and diversity of species.

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.


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.


What does random mean and how does it apply to genetic?

Random: characterizing a process of selection in which each item of a set has an equal probability of being chosen. In genetics it can really be anything or random because all have an equal chance but not the dominant gene. That gene has slightly more.


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'.
