Question

Recall that the biological species concept defines a species as a group of populations whose members have the potential to interbreed in nature and produce viable, fertile offspring. This means that all members of these populations (called conspecifics) can contribute to a common gene pool. Conspecifics are organisms or populations that belong to the same species. Genes are transferred between conspecific populations through both direct and indirect gene flow.

Answer 1

Answer:

Population A: K, D, F, H, I

Population B: L, E

Population C: G, J

Explanation:

Biologists studying disease susceptibility in mice used genetic techniques to look for gene flow in 12 wild populations of mice. The populations (designated A through L) were located along a 210-km transect line.
