Imagine a group of adventurous people board a boat and leave for another continent. When they get there, they began to prosper and grow in size. After a few generations, some of the families experience an abnormally high number of birth defects, of the same type. This population is probably experiencing: O Kin Selection O Founder Effect Natural Selection Post-Zygotic Isolation

Imagine a population of beetles living in someone's backyard. The beetles inhabit several different areas of the backyard, including the garden, patio, and storage shed. One day, the owners spray the garden with insecticide, killing off about half of the beetle population. What effect will this have on genetic variation and what evolutionary force is this an example of? Group of answer choices Reduces variation; genetic drift Increases variation; natural selection Reduces variation; natural selection Increases variation; genetic drift
Which of the following DOES NOT alter a [population’s genetic composition? a. random mating b. natural selectionc. Inbreedingd. Gene flow from migration e. Genetic drift
In which of the following pairs do both evolutionary processes introduce new genetic variation into a population?a. natural selection and genetic driftb. mutation and gene flowc. natural selection and gene flowd. gene flow and genetic drift
a statement of how sexual selection differs from natural selection has to be a statement that is wrrtien in a essay
Natural selection tends to work toward genetic unity;the genotypes that are most fit produce the mostoffspring and increase the frequency of adaptive allelesin the population. Yet there remains a great deal ofvariability within the populations of species. Describethe factors that contribute to this genetic variability. Provide the link of references
Natural selection acts on individual but only population evolve true or false
Which of these is NOT an assumption made by HWE? Group of answer choices Mating is random No adaptation Infinitely large population No natural selection No mutation
