QUESTION 18
This phenomenon causes a particular gene to be abundant in a gene pool even though it may not be adaptive:
O natural selection
O mutation
O gene flow
O genetic drift
QUESTION 19
This phenomenon is an exchange of genetic material when two previously isolated populations of the same species come into contact:
O natural selection
O mutation
O gene flow
genetic drift
QUESTION 20
How do new species arise, according to the theory of natural selection?
O when an old species goes extinct, a new species arises to take its place
O individuals in a population pass on new traits they have acquired during their lifetimes
O two new species spontaneously branch off from ancestor populations from time to time
O if a population is reproductively isolated in a sufficiently different ecosystem for an extended period of time, it will develop adaptations that will
eventually render it incapable of interbreeding with its host population
