Definitions:

Genetic Drift

A mechanism of evolution that causes random changes in the frequency of alleles in a population over time.

Gene Flow

The transfer of genetic variation from one population to another, which can lead to changes in the gene pools of both populations.

Sickle-Cell Anemia

A genetic blood disorder characterized by red blood cells that assume a sickle shape, leading to various complications such as pain, infections, and anemia.

Oxygen-Carrying

Refers to the capability of certain molecules, such as hemoglobin in red blood cells, to transport oxygen from the lungs to various parts of the body.
