Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neutral alleles can be affected by genetic drift, do not affect the fitness of their bearers, can be added to the population via mutation, and their frequencies are not affected by natural selection. However, their frequencies can change in both large and small populations due to random fluctuations, and not just in very small populations.
