how many genes are subject to genetic drift in a population of 200 guam rails
Added by Christian E.
Step 1
Genetic drift is the random fluctuation of allele frequencies in a population due to chance events. It affects all genes in a population, but the extent of its impact depends on the population size. Show more…

Which population would be the most susceptible to genetic drift?
Sri K.
In a very small populations,genetic variation is often lost through genetic drift. If population size of a mammal on an isolated island is 50, what percentage of its genetic variation is lost every genrration?

5. There are two isolated populations (A and B) of an endangered plant species. Population A has had a constant size of 2,000 plants, and population B has had a constant size of 250 plants. We most expect to see an increase in the frequency of deleterious alleles in population _______ due to _______. a)A; genetic drift b)B; positive selection c)A; positive selection d)B; purifying selection e)B; genetic drift 6. Next-generation sequencing reveals that six new mutations have occurred in the coding regions of genes in an individual diploid fly. If the coding regions of this fly comprise 100 million nucleotides per haploid genome, what is the mutation rate per nucleotide? a)60 per billion b)3 per billion c)15 per million d)15 per billion e)30 per billion
