Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process by which populations slowly change over time is called ____
A
selective breeding
B
adaptation
C
sepeciation
D
evolution
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Evolution is the process by which populations of organisms change over generations. Genetic variations underlie these changes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Populations (or gene pools ) evolve as gene frequencies change; individual organisms cannot evolve. Variation in populations is determined by the genes present in the population’s gene pool, which may be directly altered by mutation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution in which allele frequencies of a population change over generations due to chance (sampling error). Genetic drift occurs in all populations of non-infinite size, but its effects are strongest in small populations.
