Question
Indicate whether each of the statements below is True or False (Enter 1 for True and 2 for False) Adaptation is a characteristic that enhances the survival and/or reproduction of organisms that bear it, relative to alternative especially ancestral) character states. Mutation (the origin of new genetic variation), genetic drift (changes due to chance specifically founder effects and population bottlenecks), and gene flow (movement of genes among populations) are mechanisms of evolution. 1. True Adaptation is the change undergone by an individual organism during its lifetime in response to external conditions. For species that do not reproduce sexually, it is necessary to use the budding species concept. 2. False Genetic drift is the main source of new variation on which natural selection acts. Adaptation is a physical physiological, behavioural, or other characteristic evolved through natural selectionExplanation / Answer
1) TRUE
2) TRUE
3)TRUE
4)TRUE
5)TRUE
1) Adaptation:Characteristic that enhances survival and/or reproduction of organisms that bear it, relatives to alternative character states. A physical, physiological, behavioural, or other characteristic evolved through natural selection. Adaptation is not the change undergone by an individual organism during its lifetime in response to external conditions.
