Chapter 27, Problem 17CONQ

Summary Introduction

To review:

The significance of genetic drift in a small population and the reason for taking along time in a large population to cause allele fixation.

Introduction:

Genetic drift was proposed by Wright. It refers to the change in allele frequency in a population. Itcould cause the loss or fixation of allele over a long time. Itgetsinfluenced by the initial allele frequency and the size of the population. This allows the diversity in the population and evolution.
