question 1 of 10
what is the term for changes in allele frequency that happen randomly from one generation to the next?
a. artificial selection
b. selective pressure
c. gene flow
d. genetic drift

Explanation:

• Artificial selection: It is the intentional breeding of plants or animals by humans, not random changes in allele frequency.
• Selective pressure: It refers to factors that influence the survival and reproduction of organisms, not random allele - frequency changes.
• Gene flow: It is the transfer of genetic material between populations, not random changes within a single population over generations.
• Genetic drift: By definition, genetic drift is the random change in allele frequencies from one generation to the next.

Answer:

D. Genetic drift
