  virtually absent in another?
  a. Natural selection has promoted these differences since humans live in many different
  environments.
  b. Mutation rates differ between different loci.
  c. There is little gene flow between the two populations.
  d. The populations are small, and therefore genetic drift is a major factor in the determination
  of allele frequencies.
  e. Genetics is an unpredictable science.
