Question

Can we define genitive drift as genetic variations in small population caused by environmental factors??

Answer 1

Dear student.

Yes you can define. Follow the more appropriate definition below.


Genetic drift - The process of change in the genetic composition of a population due to random events rather than by natural selection, resulting in changes in allele frequencies over time. Drift is observed most strongly in small populations and results in changes that need not be adaptive.
