Summary Introduction

To determine:

The mechanism of evolution that cause random changes in allele frequencies also determine the reason for random changes.

Evolution is simply defined as descent with modification, which means inherited traits change from one generation to another. Thus, evolution is a modification or change in an allele’s frequency that is analyzed as the number of copies of that gene and the division of the entire number of alleles in the population.
