Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Analyze a scenario where a species faces a sudden environmental change. Discuss how natural selection and genetic drift may each play a role in the population's evolution.

💡 Hint: Reflect on trait advantages under new environmental pressures.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate the long-term effects of genetic drift in a population that becomes isolated from others. What might happen to the genetic diversity?

💡 Hint: Consider how lack of gene flow impacts diversity over time.
