By transferring neural crest cells from a duck to a quail and vice versa, Schneider and Helms demonstrated that 

Dr. Nachman and his colleagues collected rock pocket mice across 35 kilometers of the Arizona Sonoran Desert, which included both dark, rocky lava outcrops and light, rocky granite areas. They recorded substrate color and coat-color frequencies for each location. Each site was separated from any of the others by at least eight kilometers. The researchers trapped a total of 225 mice. Light-colored fur is recessive, and dark-colored fur is dominant. Their data are summarized below.  Collecting Site Substrate Color Number of Mice  Phenotype Light  Dark 1 Light  6 6 0 2   Light 85  80  5 3   Dark 7   0 7 4   Dark 5 0 5  5   Dark  45 3  42 6  Light 77  34   43 Source of data: Hoekstra, Hopi E., Kristen E.

Why does genetic drift cause allele frequencies to fluctuate over time in finite populations without selection?

Studies show that despite causing a significant risk of hereditary breast cancer, the BRCA1 gene has undergone strong positive selection. One hypothesis for this is that
