Which of these conditions should completely prevent the occurrence of natural selection in a population over time? Group of answer choices Variation between individuals is not heritable. The environment is changing at a relatively slow rate. The population lives in a habitat where there are no competing species present. The population size is large.
What scenario could lead to the founder effect in a population? Natural selection acting on genetic variation A large influx of new alleles from a neighboring population A few individuals leaving to start a new population in a different location
Which of these conditions should completely prevent the occurrence of natural selection in a population over time? Group of answer choices The population size is large All variation between individuals is due only to environmental factors The population lives in a habitat where there are no competing species present The environment is changing at a relatively slow rate
