HELP...................30 points for u

A road built through a forest splits a population of frogs into two large groups. The allele frequencies of the two groups are identical. Has genetic drift occurred? Why or Why not?

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic drift is the variation in the relative frequency of different phenotypes in a small population. If the allele frequencies are identical, there is only one phenotype and no variation in the population of frogs, therefore genetic drift has not occurred.
