Although the individuals in a population must differ genetically for evolution to occur, the presence of genetic variation does not guarantee that a population will evolve. For that to happen, one or more factors that cause evolution must be at work. Which of the following is NOT the causes of microevolution? Lüffen birini seçin: O a. genetic drift O b. natural selction O c. random dispersal O d. gene flow
