Although each of the following has a better chance of influencing gene frequencies in small populations than in large populations, which one most consistently requires a small population as a precondition for its occurrence?
a. mutationb. nonrandom matingc. genetic driftd. natural selectione. gene flow

The correct answer is C. genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift occurs in a small population due to the change in the allele frequency in a population due to random sampling. For example, in the bottleneck effect, most of the individual in the population die because of the natural calamities or disease which reduces the population size.

Therefore it this condition the small population have less genetic variation than the older big population because of loss of several allele due to killing of most individuals of the population in the calamity. Therefore the gene pool becomes small in smaller populations due to genetic drift. So the right answer is C. genetic drift.

due to the fact that it skipped a generation we can tell it is definitely not a dominant trait, therefore it must be recessive. i think this is right let me know!

[ answer ]

foliated

[ explanation ]

foliation forms in a rock when pressure squeezes the rock together. the rock then has a design of many different color little lines. there are three types of foliated rock. the types are slate, schist, and gneiss. each type of foliated rock is different based on grain size and foliation characteristics. the lines appear when the rock has been under pressure.
