Genetic drift has the greatest effect in:

Answer: Small isolated populations.

  • A Large, stable populations
  • B Small isolated populations
  • C Populations with high gene flow
  • D Outcrossing populations

Correct answer: B. Small isolated populations

Explanation: Genetic drift: random changes in allele frequencies. Has the greatest effect in small populations where chance can significantly shift allele frequencies.
