Hi, please answer both questions if possible! Thanks in advance.
1. In a sentence name two types of genetic drift. Then write a sentence or two to differentiate between the two using specific examples. Finally, in a paragraph, explain how genetic drift might allow a few individuals of a species to adapt to a variety of different habitats in a new location (a phenomenon known as adaptive radiation).
2. American bison (buffalo) went through a severe population decline as a result of hunting in the late 1800sâ. The population has rebounded, particularly in Yellowstone and Wind Cave National Parks and more recently in private herds, but there is very little genetic variability in any of the populations. In a paragraph or two explain why the genetic diversity of this species is so low.
