Answer:

b. Gene flow

Explanation:

Gene flow also know as gene migration is the migration or movement of genetic material from one population to another. When a particular gene is introduced from one population to another it causes a genetic variation in the receiving population, hence altering the allele frequencies of the population.

In other words, when the allele frequency between the resident population and migrating population is greater and the migrating population is larger in number than the resident population, the effect on the composition of gene pool of the receiving population will be greater.

Take for instance, the lion that is thrown out of its group would migrate to another group, reproduce and produce cubs with a portion of their own genetic material.

Which of these naturalists synthesized a concept of natural selection independently of darwin?
mariarad [96]
The answer is Alfred Wallace. 
Darwin began formulating his theory of natural selection in the late 1830s but he went on working silently on it for twenty years. He wanted to amass a wealth of evidence before publicly presenting his idea. During those years he corresponded briefly with Wallace (right), who was exploring the wildlife of South America and Asia. Wallace supplied Darwin's help publishing his own ideas on evolution. He sent Darwin his theory in 1858, which, to Darwin's shock, nearly replicated Darwin's own.

Which of the following would be LEAST likely in the fossil record? Which of the following would be LEAST likely in the fossil re
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is desert-dwelling species.

Explanation:

Any preserved remains, trace or impression of anything, which was once living in the past is termed as a fossil. The examples of fossils comprise stone imprints of microbes or animals, bones, exoskeletons, shells, coral, remnants of DNA, the substances getting preserved in amber, and others.  

For the formation of fossils, the most essential condition is decomposition that takes place gradually, that is, at a slow pace. Thus, places like wet marshy areas will be the locations where the maximum of the fossils can be found as such places provide optimum conditions for slow mineralization and decomposition of bones.  

On the other hand, places like deserts would be the least likely to have a fossil record as deserts are devoid of optimum conditions required for the formation of fossils. In places like a desert, decomposition and demineralization of the components like bones take place at a brisk rate.
