Which location is given as an example of isolated populations?

• Etosha National Park

• Yellowstone National Park

• Serengeti National Park

• Kruger National Park

What is the effect of isolation on gene flow?

• It limits gene flow

• It increases gene flow

• It has no effect

• It reverses gene flow

What is the relationship between connected populations and gene flow?

• Shared alleles indicate ongoing gene flow

• Shared alleles indicate no gene flow

• Shared alleles indicate limited gene flow

• Shared alleles indicate reversed gene flow

What is the purpose of the document?

• To explain gene flow and isolation

• To describe animal habitats

• To discuss climate patterns

• To analyze plant species
