which of the statements about genetic drift and population size is true? Even the largest populations in the world experience random genetic drift
Derrick D.
Which of the following best describes a population at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? the population undergoes constant sexual selection and natural selection the population is small enough that genetic drift may occur there is a high degree of mutation that interconverts alleles the allele frequencies remain the same from generation to generation there is a near-infinite amount of migration into and out of a population
