Explain how genetic diversity influences the process of natural selection.
|
Over time, the process of natural selection leads to:
populations becoming less adapted to their environment
no change in the population's adaptation to the environment
random changes in the population's adaptation to the environment
populations becoming more adapted to their environment
|
Which of the following statements about genetic diversity is FALSE?
it is the total number of different alleles in a population
it leads to variation in observable traits
it influences natural selection
it is always caused by beneficial mutations
|
Which of the following is NOT a step in the process of natural selection?
genetic variation emerges within a population due to random mutations
advantageous alleles are passed down to offspring
organisms actively adapt to their environment
individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to reproduce
|
Genetic diversity influences natural selection because:
organisms with advantageous traits are less likely to survive and reproduce
it leads to less variation in observable traits
different combinations of alleles result in different proteins
all of the above
|
What describes an organism's ability to survive and reproduce?
variation
fitness
adaptation
mutation
|
Which of the following is NOT a selection pressure?
competition for resources
climate change
genetic drift
predation
