Question

Is Genetic Drift and Accidental Survival the same thing?

P.S: Don't just answer with a yes or no please, I want the explanation as well.

Answer 1

Answer:

NO

Explanation:

Because

• Genetic drift the genetic materials get changed for survival advantages example the beetles get a change in heir colour to green to hide themselves from the crow (this is the illustration given in the NCERT text-book  the first one shows the genetic drift)

• The accidental survival is that in which a group organisms die due to some natural phenomenons like the blue beetles in a group of red beetles are saved from the elephant foot (this is the illustration given in the NCERT text-book the second one shows natural selection/accidental survival)
