Question

1. What 2 factors are most commonly responsible for decreases in genetic variation? 2. What effect would increasing gene flow between 2 populations have on their gene pools? 3. New genetic information (alleles) can be introduced into a population through what mechanisms? 4. A population of what kind of organism would most closely resemble an equilibrium population that is not evolving? Explain why you think so (Hardy- Weinberg conditions).

Step 1

The two factors that are most commonly responsible for decreases in genetic variation are genetic drift and natural selection. Genetic drift is the random fluctuation of allele frequencies in a population, which can lead to the loss of alleles over time. Natural Show more…
