Accepted Answer

Hello everyone here We have a question asking us to determine the mechanisms that can change a little frequency. So a little frequency is defined as the alleles in population over the copies of the gene. So natural selection is the differential process of reproduction and survival due to differences in phenotype. This is going to change our number of alleles in a population. Next we have. Gene flow. Gene flow is also called migration, and it's the movement of individuals and or the genetic material they carry from one population to another. So this is going to change the number of alleles in the population. And lastly, we have genetic drift, which is the change in the frequency of a genetic variation existing in a population due to chance, which is going to change the number of alleles in a population. So our answer here is d all of the above. Thank you for watching. Bye.
