• Natural selection

• Gene flow

• Biogeography

• Recombination

Answer explanation

The correct choice is Natural selection because the image represents the process of organisms adapting to their environment over time through selective pressures (the predatory bird eating the lighter colored mice).

Survival of the fittest!

• Gene flow

• Genetic drift

• Mutation

• Recombination

Answer explanation

The correct choice is Gene flow, which refers to the transfer of genetic material from one population to another, leading to genetic variation within populations.

• Genetic drift

• Gene flow

• Mutation

• Recombination

Answer explanation

The correct choice is Genetic drift, which refers to the change in allele frequencies in a population due to random events. This process is different from gene flow, mutation, and recombination. It decreases the genetic variation.

• Taxonomy

• Evolution

• Natural Selection

• Common ancestry

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'Taxonomy' as the image show the taxonomic levels in which organisms are classified.

Taxonomy is the scientific study of naming, defining and classifying groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics.

Name that image!

• Dichotomous key

• Cladogram

• Phylogenetic tree

• Taxa levels

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'Dichotomous key' as it is a tool used in biology to identify organisms based on a series of choices between alternative characteristics.

• Kingdom

• Class

• Family

• Species

Answer explanation

The correct answer is 'Kingdom' as the question is asking to name the taxonomic level below Domain but above Phylum.

• Binomial nomenclature

• Domain

• Dichotomous key

• Common ancestor

Answer explanation

Binomial nomenclature is the correct choice as it refers to the system of naming species with two terms, the genus and species names.
