6.Evolution
medium
The chance of elimination of genes from a small population is an example of
A
Selection pressure
B
Speciation
C
Adaptation
D
Genetic drift
Solution
(d)Genetic drift or Sewall Wright effect is an important mechanism in evolutionary change in small populations. In a small population not all the alleles which are representative of that species may be present. Therefore, chance events may result in the elimination of that allele from population.
