- Genetic drift differs from gene flow in that Group of answer choices genetic drift occurs at a steady, but low, rate in all populations while gene flow is largely random event occurring in small populations. genetic drift is most likely to produce a loss of genetic diversity in a population whereas gene flow will often increase genetic diversity in a population. none of these choices adequately describe the difference between genetic drift and gene flow. genetic drift is based on female choice of particular mates but gene flow is largely a product of natural selection.arrow_forwardGenetic drift: is variation in the relative frequency of different genotypes in a small population, owing to the chance disappearance of particular genes as individuals die or do not reproduce. is the same as the process of natural selection. does not rely on chance. cannot explain variation in genotypes within populations.arrow_forwardIn a population of 500 fruit flies, 250 are genotype RR, 100 are genotype Rr and 150 are genotype rr. Determine the allele frequencies for this gene in this population. Remember that the frequencies should add to 1. Please show your work.arrow_forward
- You have a population of flies in a tank in your lab. The population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a gene that codes for wing shape. The dominant form of the wing shape gene is “W”. The recessive form of the wing shape gene is “w”. Flies that are homozygous recessive for the wing shape gene have very short wings; heterozygous and homozygous dominant individuals have long wings. You have a total population of 900 flies; 150 of those flies have very short wings. The frequency of the w allele in the population of flies described above is _______. Group of answer choices 0.01 0.09 0.60 0.91 0.41arrow_forwardAn evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) is a Group of answer choices strategy that, if adopted by all members of the population, cannot be invaded by a mutant strategy. strategy that, if adopted by part of a population, cannot be invaded by a mutant strategy. mutant strategy that cannot invade a population. strategy that, if adopted by all members of the population, can be invaded by a mutant strategy.arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusionarrow_forward
- Please you explain why the answer is true or false for this question.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is an effect of gene flow? Population size is greatly reduced Individuals establish a new population Natural disasters Genetic differences between populations are reducedarrow_forwardIn a dichotomous classification system, __________. In a dichotomous classification system, __________. A population is repeatedly divided into four parts until a description identifies a single member. a population is repeatedly divided into two parts until a description identifies a single member A population first divided into two parts, then three parts, and then four parts, until a description identifies a single member. dichotomous keys are called natural keys A population is repeatedly divided into three parts until a description identifies a single member.arrow_forward
- Purpose: to simulate genetic drift and gene flow as a mechanisms for the evolution of a population Materials: skittles or m&ms (you may also use other colorful small items with at least 5 colors and a lot of pieces) and a paper towel or towel Directions: ● ● ● grab a bag of skittles or m&ms - this is your ORIGINAL POPULATION of the candy organism carefully and without looking remove a small handful and place them on the towel - this is your genetic drift population ● record all info for the genetic drift population - how many of each color found in the original population do you have (if you have 0 oranges and purples write out 0 for those colors) and what the percentage is for that population (if you have 3 reds out of 6, red is 50% of the population) after you have recorded all the genetic drift population you will add that population BACK to the original bag and record all info (color and % of the population) for the original population You may want to use a chart like this: color…arrow_forwardWhich part of these statements isn't right ? A species is a group of organisms that can potentially interbreed with one another to produce viable, fertile offspring. Speciation is when two new species form from one original one. Sympatric speciation occurs when there is a geographic separation of a population. Allopatric speciation occurs while the population remains in the same area. Adaptive radiation occurs when one species evolves into many to fill several different niches. Natural selection requires traits to be passed from parent to offspring, more offspring are produced than can survive creating competition, and inherited traits vary among offspring. Fossils, Anatomy and embryology, biogeography, and molecular biology all provide support for the theory of evolution. Evolution can be driven by many different things. Mutations are changes in DNA that create new alleles in a population. Gene flow is the flow of alleles in and out of a population resulting from the migration…arrow_forwardA species of fox has a mean number of 3 Kits, while more or less kits is selected against. This is an example of diversifying selection." true or falsearrow_forward
