Ameoba Sisters Genetic Drift Recap

The document discusses genetic drift, explaining how it can lead to changes in allele frequency within populations that exhibit trait variation. It emphasizes the vulnerability of small populations to genetic drift compared to larger ones. Additionally, it contrasts genetic drift with natural selection as distinct mechanisms of evolution.

AMOEBA SISTERS: VIDEO RECAP GENETIC DRIFT

Amoeba Sisters Video Recap: Genetic Drift


1. Populations can have variety, despite being made up of the same species. If a population has different expressed traits,
this can be due to different inherited alleles. Genetic drift can cause a change to allele frequency in a population. What if you
had to explain genetic drift to a friend who has not watched the video? Use the comics below in your narration of genetic
drift. Refer to comic A, comic B, and comic C in your narrative. You can use the comics in any order you choose!

4. The video explains why small populations tend to be more vulnerable to genetic drift. Explain why with a sketch! You can
use captions if this better helps your explanation.

5. Genetic drift and natural selection can both be mechanisms of evolution. However, they are very different mechanisms.
Explain how genetic drift is different from natural selection.
