Why on those small islands exposed to wind insects tend to don’t have wings? Choose the neo-darwinist interpretation.

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

a) Firstly some insects with wings arrived to those small islands. It is possible that due to mutations some none-winged insects appeared. Winged insects can’t adapt as good as none-winged insects on this kind of places, so those insects without wings will leave more descendants. The number of none-winged insects will increase.
b) Insects from small island stop flying to resist the strong winds, so wings are finally atrophied.
c) Firstly, insects with and without wings arrived to small island. However, those winged were dragged by the wind, and those none-winged weren’t. Consequently, the number of none-winged insects will increase.

Which of the following statements best reflects the theory of neutralism?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

The vast majority of molecular change is adaptively neutral; therefore, natural selection does not act on these variations and the increase in certain alleles is due to chance, a phenomenon known as genetic drift.
In the struggle for survival, some individuals will be more successful than others, and these will have more and better adapted descendants.
Changes induced by the environment will cause genetic variability and will be transmitted to offspring, which will improve their adaptation to the environment.
The evolutionary unit is not the individual but the population, which is what experiences adaptation through natural selection.
