Question

4. A small population of chimpanzees lives in a habitat that undergoes no changes for a long period.

How will genetic drift probably affect this population?
a. It will accelerate the appearance of new traits.
b. It will promote the survival of chimpanzees with beneficial traits.
c. It will increase the number of alleles for specific traits.
d. It will reduce genetic diversity.​

Answer 1

It will reduce genetic diversity by decreasing the frequency of some alleles and increasing the frequency of others.

Answer 2

Genetic drift is the dramatic almost sped up process of natural selection due to the untouched habitat the species I lives in. Genetic drift is characterized by the changing in alleles, whether more or less, natural selection could care less as long as they're creating diverse populations.
