Q8 of 52 Page 49

Gene flow occurs through generations. Gene flow can occur across language barriers in humans. If we have a technique of measuring specific allele frequencies in different population of the world, can we not predict human migratory patterns in pre-history and history? Do you agree or disagree? Provide explanation to your answer.

Yes gene flow occurs through generations.

As gene flow occur thorough various barriers like language over generations, by studying specific allele frequencies in different population of the world we can predict human migratory patterns in pre-history and history.


Nowadays there are many projects like human genographics project which uses previous studies data on specific genes to trace evolutionary history and migratory patterns of humans.
