If gene flow between two populations stops, which of the following could occur given enough time? a. speciation b. the population each gain unique alleles c. the timing of reproduction changes ending their ability to interbreed d. frequencies of alleles shift in different ways e.
Genetic Variation
Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.
Quantitative Genetics
Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.
If gene flow between two populations stops, which of the following could occur given enough time?
the population each gain unique alleles
the timing of reproduction changes ending their ability to interbreed
frequencies of alleles shift in different ways
these are all things that could occur if gene flow between two populations of one species ended, given enough time
