Homework Answers
A gene has two alleles. Fixation of alleles means only one allele of a gene will exist in the population ( frequency of that allele will be 100% in the population) while other allele of the gene will get disappear. The major mechanism responsible for the fixation of allele is genetic drift (change in the frequency of alleles in a population over time).
Option B (genetic drift)

Which factor, on its own, will ALWAYS lead to fixation of an allele? Gene Flow Genetic...

Which condition can lead to two populations becoming different species? all of these A barrier to gene flow exists between the two populations. Individuals in the two populations have significant genetic differences from one another. Individuals may live in geographically isolated areas. Individuals in the two populations mate at different times. Which of these is NOT an example of adaptive evolution? bottleneck all of these gene flow founder effect Mutation Which of these does NOT influence allele frequencies in a...

During the evolutionary synthesis, biologists conclusively identified natural selection, gene flow, genetic drift, and mutation as the major causes of evolution within species. Using the scientific definition of evolution, explain how these forces cause populations, species, and higher taxa to evolve.
