   1. Chapman University 2. Pima Community College 3. University of California Irvine

   Genetic drift is an important mechanism of evolution, yet undergraduates often fail to understand how it leads to evolutionary change due in part to its random nature. This lesson plan describes a...

   11 Jun 2017 | | Contributor(s):: Bob Sheehy

   This resource has been updated - find the current version here: https://qubeshub.org/qubesresources/publications/842A Hardy-Weinberg based population genetics simulator. This program assumes a single gene and two alleles. Simulation of allele frequency changes similar to...

9. Genetic Drift Simulation - NetLogo

   out of 5 stars 

   23 Jun 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Tony Weisstein

   This model simulates genetic drift in a population.  The user can control the population size, whether the population is subdivided into separate local populations, and the amount of gene flow (if any) between local populations.  Phenotype frequency in each subpopulation is plotted as a...
