A forest fire devastated a population of wild boars. The event randomly changed their allelic frequencies. What is described in this scenario?


Sagot :

the United States is a collaborative effort between many governmental and private entities with expertise in specific areas of wild pig control, management, and damage mitigation. Thus, we will provide some links to informative resources from those entities based on their area of expertise

A forest fire devastated a population of wild boars, that randomly changed their allelic frequency. The random change in allelic frequencies of population over generations due to chance is known as genetic drift that eventually lead to following scenarios :

  • reduction in population size
  • random losses of variation by drift
  • less genetic diversity in population
  • eventually lead to evolution.

How does genetic drift occurs :

  • Genetic drift occurs in a small populations, where  infrequently occurring alleles face a greater chance of being lost due to some natural disaster or splitting of a small group from the main population.
