Genetic Drift Amoeba Sisters Handout

This Genetic Drift Amoeba Sisters handout was made to accompany the Genetic Drift video created by the Amoeba Sisters on YouTube.

In this video, students will explore how genetic drift affects populations, why chance events can change allele frequencies, and how genetic drift differs from natural selection. They will learn how random events rather than fitness can shape populations through the bottleneck effect and founder effect, and why genetic drift has a greater impact on small populations.

This is not your average video worksheet!

My Amoeba Sisters worksheets are designed to include:

• An anticipation activity to access prior knowledge and spark engagement
• Multiple choice questions in order of the video (not too slow or too fast)
• An independent activity for student practice after the video
• A fun extension activity
