The spread of genes from one breeding population to another by migration which may result in changes in gene frequency is called__________________?
Correct answer: D. Gene flow
- A. None of the aboveDownload Nature Guides
- B. Genetic drift
- C. Gene frequency
- D. Gene flow
Explanation
Gene flow is the movement of alleles between populations through migration and subsequent reproduction, which can alter allele frequencies. Genetic drift changes frequencies through chance, especially in small populations, without requiring migration.
