20.

Explain how adaptations are related to natural selection.

a)

Adaptations are traits or characteristics that are determined by chance. Natural selection is the process by which individuals with the most offspring survive.

b)

Adaptations are traits or characteristics that help an organism survive and reproduce in its environment. Natural selection is the process by which individuals with advantageous adaptations are more likely to survive and pass on their genes to the next generation.

c)

Adaptations are traits or characteristics that are acquired during an organism's lifetime. Natural selection is the process by which individuals with the most offspring survive.

d)

Adaptations are traits or characteristics that are only found in humans. Natural selection is the process by which individuals with the most offspring survive.

21.

What is population genetics?

The study of genetic variation within species.

22.

a)

Gene flow only introduces new genetic variations in small populations.

b)

Gene flow has no effect on genetic variations in populations.

c)

Gene flow increases genetic differentiation between populations.

d)

Gene flow introduces new genetic variations and reduces genetic differentiation between populations.

23.

Define Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

a)

Genetic equilibrium in a population where allele frequencies remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences.

b)

Genetic equilibrium in a population where allele frequencies are influenced by genetic drift.

c)

Genetic equilibrium in a population where allele frequencies are determined by natural selection.
