select the types of large populations that are more likely to show evidence of genetic drift.
□ a large population of garter snakes in which only a few individuals contribute to the next generation.
□ two populations of garter snakes that begin to interbreed.
□ a large population of garter snakes that has consistently been a large population.
□ a large population of garter snakes that started from a few individuals.

Explanation:

Genetic drift is more likely in populations where there are bottlenecks (starting from few individuals) or when only a few individuals contribute to the next - generation. Interbreeding populations and consistently large populations without such events are less likely to show strong genetic drift.

Answer:

A. A large population of garter snakes in which only a few individuals contribute to the next generation.
D. A large population of garter snakes that started from a few individuals.
