Question 1

What is natural selection?

  • A process of random allele change.
  • A mechanism favoring advantageous traits.
  • A population bottleneck effect.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the survival of traits in a specific context.

Question 2

True or False: Genetic drift always leads to advantageous traits becoming more common.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on randomness affecting allele frequencies.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on trait advantages under new environmental pressures.

Question 2

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

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how lack of gene flow impacts diversity over time.
