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.

This example reflects the food chain.
<span>The food chain describes relationships among the organisms by showing how the organisms are related to each other by the food they eat. The food chain contains levels and each of them presents a different trophic level (position of the organism in that chain). There is reliable energy transfer through each stage of the chain. Not all the energy at one stage is absorbed by the organism at the next stage but, the amount of energy from one stage to another decreases.</span>

yarga [219]
