Difference between Convergent evolution and Genetic drift

Convergent evolution vs. Genetic drift

Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages. Genetic drift (also known as allelic drift or the Sewall Wright effect) is the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant (allele) in a population due to random sampling of organisms.

Similarities between Convergent evolution and Genetic drift

Convergent evolution and Genetic drift have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): DNA, Evolution, Natural selection, Non-coding DNA, Probability, Stephen Jay Gould.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

Non-coding DNA

In genomics and related disciplines, noncoding DNA sequences are components of an organism's DNA that do not encode protein sequences.

Convergent evolution and Genetic drift Comparison

Convergent evolution has 130 relations, while Genetic drift has 136. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 2.26% = 6 / (130 + 136).
