Stabilising selection reduce genetic variation by allowing only intermediate phenotype adapted to the environment, and eliminate both of extreme phenotype.
True
False
Outbreeding increasing genetic variation by producing hybrid offspring which a result of mating between different species
True
False
A robust individual which is adapted to the environment is a product of artificial selection.
True
False
Inbreeding decreases genetic variation because the parents of the inbred are closely related.
True
False
Moths that cannot camouflage and blend in with the environment have high chances to be eliminated by environment.
True
False
Gene flow between different populations increases genetic variation and can lead to a speciation.
True
False
Genetic drift decreases genetic variation because a random event in a small population will change the allele frequencies.
True
False
Bottleneck effect and founder effect change the allele frequencies by resulting certain allele to be overrepresented or eliminated in the future population
True
False
A species is a group of individuals that live in the same area, which can interbreed among themselves and produce fertile offspring.
True
False
Allopolyploidy can lead to formation of a new species which is known as a sterile hybrid.
True
False
Different shapes and sizes of beak among finches in Galapagos Island are due to adaptation of diet for different food sources.
True
False
Adaptive radiation causing the arises of many species from a common ancestor due to adaptation to the environment.
True
False
Behavioural isolation is when different species are isolated reproductively due to different time of mating.
True
False
Sympatric speciation can reduce gene flow and form a new species in overlapping populations in the same place.
True
False
Speciation begins with no gene flow between two subpopulation for a very long period of time.
True
False
