Question

Caterpillars/parasitoid wasps Question 5 3 pts In general, evolutionary response to natural selection is slowest in: ✓ [Select] populations, Large (many individuals Small [few individuals] populations with relatively [Select] generation times, and species with [Select] mutation rates. *Slowest' = Lowest rate of genetic change per unit time (e.g. per year, decade, etc.) Question 6 1 pts

Answer 1

Ans 1 Large (many individual)

Ans 2 Longer

Ans 3 slower

Natural Selection is a process in which organisms starts adapting themselves for survival as well as their reproduction.

Mainly in smaller population their is chance of adapting faster and their mutation can cause genetic drift in population.

Larger population shows slower Natural selection and they have longer generation time than the smaller population.

Species with higher mutation rate cause Genetic drift or change in population behavior (adaptation) speedily. Species with lower mutation rate shows adaptation slowly.
