Explanation:

Evolutionary change can and does occur without natural selection. This usually occurs as a result of genetic drift: genetic mutations that may result in neutral or even negative outcomes.

The term 'GENETIC DRIFT' is used for genetic mutations that may result in neutral or even negative outcomes (Option A).

  • Genetic drift refers to random fluctuations in the frequency of a given gene variant (i.e. an allele) and different genes in the individuals that form a population.

  • Genetic drift may occur on neutral or negative alleles carried out by the individuals of a population.

  • These random fluctuations cause changes in the allele frequencies, which are fixed when they reach a frequency equal to one (1).

In conclusion, the term 'GENETIC DRIFT' is used for genetic mutations that may result in neutral or even negative outcomes (Option A).
