1

Change over time in the relative frequencies of allele variations in a population

Select one or more of the following:

  • Genetic variation

  • Evolution

  • Population

Explanation

Question 4 of 21

1

Genetic variation is

Select one or more of the following:

  • Change over time in the relative frequencies of allele variations

  • When there are different alleles for at least some of the population's genes

  • All the individuals in a given area

Explanation

Question 5 of 21

1

Select all that apply. Fitness is a measure of________

Select one or more of the following:

  • Reproductive success contributed to the next generation

  • Compared to others in the same population and generation cohort

  • The genetic change in a population

Explanation

Question 6 of 21

1

The source of new alleles because of spelling changes in DNA

Select one or more of the following:

  • Mutation

  • Migration

  • Natural selection

Explanation

Question 7 of 21

1

Natural selection and genetic drift cause evolutionary change because______ (select all that apply)

Select one or more of the following:

  • Some alleles become more common in the next generation

  • Some alleles become less common in the next generation

  • It is all about differential reproductive success

Explanation

Question 8 of 21

1

Select one or more of the following:

  • Migration

  • Genetic drift

  • Natural selection

Explanation

Question 9 of 21

1

A mechanism of evolution in which new alleles are added to a population when new individuals enter from another location

Select one or more of the following:

  • Migration

  • Genetic drift

  • Natural selection

Explanation

Question 10 of 21

1

Individuals that survive or reproduce at a higher rate because of their genetic traits defines __________ (select all that apply)

Select one or more of the following:

  • Natural selection

  • One of the mechanisms of evolution

  • Gene fixation

Explanation

Question 11 of 21

1

Genetic drift is any condition that favors some alleles/traits for reproductive success and disfavor others alleles/traits.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 12 of 21

1

Genetic drift has the biggest impact on small populations

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 13 of 21

1

Founder effect is where a small number of individuals establish a new population

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 14 of 21

1

The number of prairie chickens went from millions to fewer than 50, resulting in 30% of alleles being lost. This is an example of______. (Select all that apply)

Select one or more of the following:

  • Genetic drift

  • Migration

  • Founder effect

  • Bottleneck

Explanation

Question 15 of 21

1
