Question

Match each example to one of the processes below and here are the answer chioces that drop down for each one:

Natural selection

Genetic Bottleneck

Gene flow

founder effect

genetic drift

Match each example to one of the processes below An area consists of dark and[Choose] light rocks. Mouse populations that live on the dark rocks tend to be darkly colored; mouse populations that live on the light rocks tend to be lightly colored. A large boulder rolls down a mountain and kills all the flowers in its path. Choose] A tourist carries seeds to aChoose] new location. These seeds are able to breed with plants of the same species in this new location [Choose ] Overfishing results in an endangered fish population with a very small population size Choose] at motorChoose Algae attach to a boat motor and are transported to a new lake where they establish a new colony oose

Explanation / Answer

Answers:

Natural selection (mice with matching rock color survived due to camouflage)

Genetic bottleneck (sudden reduction in population)

Gene flow (seeds breeds with a different population of the same species)

Genetic drift (small population size can be divergent from the orginial population's expected traits)

Founder effect (a member of a species starts a new population)
