Explain the difference between natural selection and genetic drift.
Difference between natural selection and genetic drift-
GENETIC DRIFT | NATURAL SELECTION |
1. It is a Random process | 1. It is a Non random process |
2. It Does not occur due to environmental changes. |
2. Environment play a crucial role. |
3. Non directional | 3. Directional |
4. Non adaptive evolution | 4. Adaptive evolution |
5. Important allele may disappear | 5. Ends up with the survival of fittest |
6. Loss of genetic variation | 6. Increase genetic variation |
7. Operate on neutral allele | 7. Operate on any allele |
