Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Evaluate how gene flow could potentially rescue a population with low genetic diversity facing a new disease.

💡 Hint: Think about how different populations might have developed different traits over time that could also provide advantages.

Question 2

Analyze the importance of mutations in long-term evolutionary change. Provide examples.

💡 Hint: Consider scenarios where mutations may allow organisms to thrive despite changing environments.
