Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false and give a reason for your choice. 1. Variation arises from genes and environment. 2. Most mutations are harmful. 3. Genetic drift is more likely to occur in large populations. 4. If a populaton is driven to a low level, its genetic diversity will recover more quickly than its numbers.
