What is the greatest significant contributor to the greenhouse effect?

There is a natural greenhouse effect, supported by the earth's carbon and water cycles, that has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years. Water vapour is the most significant greenhouse gas for this effect. However, there is now an enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. The most significant contributor to this enhanced greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide, caused by the human activities of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (oil, coal and natural gas).

What terms defines chance in allele frequency that have a big effect in small populations?

Genetic driftChanges in the frequency of alleles within a population is called genetic drift. Over time, this can cause a significant phenotypic shift from other populations of the same species that have not had the same genetic drift. Given enough time, genetic drift can be significant enough to cause the affected population to be reproductively isolated from the rest of its species and eventually will develop into a new species.

Is light affected by Earth's gravitational pull?

Yes. However, you'd have a very hard time seeing the effect; Earth simply isn't massive enough to make a significant difference.
