B exchange of genes between populations
C chance loss of alleles in a population
D differential reproductive success of individuals
Question #10
A differential reproductive success of individuals
B the production of new alleles
C the exchange of genes between populations
D a chance loss of alleles in a population
Question #11
A chance loss of alleles in a population
B exchange of genes between populations
C production of new alleles
D differential reproductive success of individuals
Question #12
A Speciation occurs
B False; migration cannot change gene frequencies
C Individuals move from one population to another
D Individuals from two different populations produce offspring
Question #13
A False; gene flow cannot change gene frequencies
