Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the listed factors (drift, selection, mutation, and migration) can generate and affect the extent and patterns of linkage disequilibrium. Drift and selection can increase or decrease the frequency of alleles at linked loci, leading to non-random associations. Mutation can introduce new alleles, which can be associated with existing alleles, and migration can introduce new genetic variation and alter allele frequencies in the population, further affecting linkage disequilibrium.
