Question 119

Matching

Classification. Answer the questions in reference to the four evolutionary processes listed below.

Premises:

Responses:

This process can rapidly offset the effects of genetic isolation when two populations come into secondary contact.

mutation

This is most likely to lead to the loss of genetic variation in a small population.

genetic drift

This process produces new genetic variation within a species.

natural selection

The reduced contribution of one phenotype in comparison to another to the next generation is an example of this.

gene flow
