Do each of the following INCREASE or DECREASE the probability that an allele will become fixed due to genetic drift? Strong selection Small population size Weak selection Large population size
Added by Brandon B.
Step 1
This is because strong selection will favor certain alleles over others, reducing the impact of genetic drift on allele frequencies. Show more…

Which of the following are long-term consequences of genetic drift in small populations? (select all that apply) Increased homozygosity Loss of diversity (some alleles become fixed or lost) Increased gene flow Increased susceptibility to environmental stressors like disease Increased mutation rates
Md.Daniyal A.
Under genetic drift, an increase in population size will have what effect? increase the effect of natural selection on a population decrease in mutation rate decrease the probability of fixation for a new mutation increase the probability of fixation for a new mutation decrease the probability of loss for a new mutation
