Gene flow can result in:
A)alteration of the effects of genetic drift
B)mutation
C)homogenization of populations
D)a and c

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene flow can alter the effects of genetic drift by introducing new alleles into a population or by reducing genetic differences between populations. This can result in the homogenization of populations, where individuals become more similar to one another. Therefore, both options a and c are correct. Gene flow does not directly cause mutations, as mutations are spontaneous changes in DNA sequence that occur randomly over time.
