MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
45 sec • 1 pt
Genetic drift is change in the allele frequency of a population due to...
random chance
natural selection
non-random mating (sexual selection)
artificial selection
Answer explanation
Genetic drift refers to changes in allele frequencies due to random chance events, rather than selective pressures like natural selection or mating preferences. This randomness can lead to significant shifts in small populations.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Genetic Drift is more likely to happen in...
aquatic populations
small populations
terrestrial populations
older populations
Answer explanation
Genetic drift occurs more frequently in small populations because random events can have a larger impact on allele frequencies, leading to greater fluctuations and potential loss of genetic diversity.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

All of the genetic information found in a population.
population
genetic drift
evolution
gene pool
Answer explanation
The term 'gene pool' refers to all the genetic information present in a population. It encompasses the total set of genes and alleles, making it the correct choice for describing the genetic diversity within a population.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Which of the following is true?
Gene pool frequencies do not change as a result of migration in or out of a population.
Gene flow occurs only as a result of isolation of a small population.
Gene flow can cause new alleles to enter a population's gene pool.
Gene flow is due the the selection of the most favorable traits.
Answer explanation
Gene flow can introduce new alleles into a population's gene pool through migration, enhancing genetic diversity. The other statements are incorrect as they misrepresent the nature of gene flow.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • 1 pt
The combined genetic information of all memebers of a particular population forms a:
gene pool
allele frequency
phenotype
population
Answer explanation
The combined genetic information of all members of a population is referred to as a gene pool. It encompasses all the alleles present, making it the correct choice over allele frequency, phenotype, or population.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • 1 pt
Mechanism of evolution responsible for a random change in a population is known as:
Speciation
Selection
Genetic Drift
Variation
Answer explanation
Genetic drift refers to random changes in allele frequencies in a population, often due to chance events. Unlike natural selection, which is non-random, genetic drift can lead to significant evolutionary changes over time.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

What is a change in an organism that allows for it to survive in its environment?
homologous
vestigial
variation
adaptation
Answer explanation
An adaptation is a change in an organism that enhances its ability to survive and reproduce in its environment. This distinguishes it from homologous structures, vestigial traits, and variations, which do not specifically refer to survival changes.
