Q7 of 27 Page 1

How would the gene flow or genetic drift affect the population in which either of them happen to take place?

Gene flow is the movement of genes between the interbreeding populations of a species. Gene flow would result in changed frequency of genes in both populations.

The result is a population with an active gene flow. Such population doesn’t obey the Hardy-Weinberg’s principle (states that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next in the absence of disturbing factors)
