Match the appropriate evolutionary force with the effects on allele frequencies over time in a population. 1 Mutation acting alone as a force will cause changes in allele frequencies very quickly. 2 Migration leads to homogenization between populations with increased gene flow. 3 Genetic drift only causes allele frequency changes in very small populations. 4 Selection is the result of bottleneck events.

Step 1
Mutation acting alone as a force will cause changes in allele frequencies very quickly: This statement is incorrect. Mutation is a relatively slow process and causes changes in allele frequencies gradually over time. Show more…

The greatest force in changing allele frequencies in a population is ... gene flow. natural selection. mutation. genetic drift.
Sri K.
Allele frequencies in a population are considered to be stable over a period of time, unless countered by other processes such as migration, which in an evolutionary sense refers to gene flow across populations, or mutations. Migration leads to mixing of genes between populations and is likely to affect the distribution of allele frequencies in populations. How does it affect the allele frequencies across populations? What would be the effect of a small population receiving immigrants from a large source population?
