A rapid increase in the number of genes in a population

The loss of genetic variation when a new population is established

What does genetic drift refer to?

The change in allele frequency due to chance events

The intentional selection of certain genes for breeding

The migration of individuals between populations

The process by which new genes are created

What is the founder effect?

The loss of genetic variation when a new population is established

The effect of natural disasters on gene frequencies

The increase in genetic variation when a new gene is introduced

The migration of genes from one species to another

What does sexual selection in the context of evolutionary biology refer to?

The natural process by which certain traits become more common in a population due to differential reproductive success

The selection of food sources by animals

The process by which animals choose their habitat

The method by which animals adapt to changes in climate

What is intrasexual selection?

Competition among males for mates

Competition among females for resources

Cooperation among males to find food

Cooperation among females to raise offspring

What is intersexual selection?

Females selecting males based on certain traits

Males competing with each other for territory

Males and females competing for food

Females competing with each other for nesting sites

What is reproductive isolation in the context of speciation through isolation?

When species can no longer mate, leading to the creation of new species

When species are separated by physical barriers

When species mate and produce hybrid offspring

When species have different mating seasons or times

What does convergent evolution involve?

Unrelated species developing similar traits

Related species developing similar traits

Related species developing different traits

Unrelated species developing different traits

What is an example of divergent evolution?

Darwin's Finches developing different beak shapes

Shark and Dolphin developing similar body shapes

Unrelated species developing similar traits

Related species maintaining similar traits

What does coevolution refer to in the context of evolution?

C) Two species evolving in response to each other

A) A single species evolving over time

B) Two species evolving separately and independently

D) The evolution of a species without any influence from other species
