1.

Stabilising selection reduce genetic variation by allowing only intermediate phenotype adapted to the environment, and eliminate both of extreme phenotype.

a)

True

b)

False

2.

Outbreeding increasing genetic variation by producing hybrid offspring which a result of mating between different species

a)

True

b)

False

3.

A robust individual which is adapted to the environment is a product of artificial selection.

a)

True

b)

False

4.

Inbreeding decreases genetic variation because the parents of the inbred are closely related.

a)

True

b)

False

5.

Moths that cannot camouflage and blend in with the environment have high chances to be eliminated by environment.

a)

True

b)

False

6.

Gene flow between different populations increases genetic variation and can lead to a speciation.

a)

True

b)

False

7.

Genetic drift decreases genetic variation because a random event in a small population will change the allele frequencies.

a)

True

b)

False

8.

Bottleneck effect and founder effect change the allele frequencies by resulting certain allele to be overrepresented or eliminated in the future population

a)

True

b)

False

9.

A species is a group of individuals that live in the same area, which can interbreed among themselves and produce fertile offspring.

a)

True

b)

False

10.

Allopolyploidy can lead to formation of a new species which is known as a sterile hybrid.

a)

True

b)

False

11.

Different shapes and sizes of beak among finches in Galapagos Island are due to adaptation of diet for different food sources.

a)

True

b)

False

12.

Adaptive radiation causing the arises of many species from a common ancestor due to adaptation to the environment.

a)

True

b)

False

13.

Behavioural isolation is when different species are isolated reproductively due to different time of mating.

a)

True

b)

False

14.

Sympatric speciation can reduce gene flow and form a new species in overlapping populations in the same place.

a)

True

b)

False

15.

Speciation begins with no gene flow between two subpopulation for a very long period of time.

a)

True

b)

False
