Genetic drift is change in the allele frequency of a population due to...

• natural selection

• random chance

• artificial selection

• non-random mating (sexual selection)

A change in a gene, group of genes or chromosome that results in a change in the proteins

• Mutations

• Replication

• Transcription

• Translation

Maria Concepcion Soto settled in the northern area of Venezuela. She suffered from a rare genetic disorder called Huntington’s Disease. As a result, the now 20,000 individuals who live there also have a high risk of Huntington’s Disease.
