Force | Short-Term Effect | Long-Term Effect |
---|---|---|
Mutation | Change in allelic frequency | Equilibrium reached between forward and reverse mutations |
Migration | Change in allelic frequency | Equilibrium reached when allelic frequencies of source and recipient population are equal |
Genetic drift | Change in allelic frequency | Fixation of one allele |
Natural selection | Change in allelic frequency | Directional selection: fixation of one allele Overdominant selection: equilibrium reached |
