Punctuated equilibrium has been a theory in evolutionary biology developed and coined by Stephen Jay Gould which talks about very rapid changes which occur in nature while on the other hand still having a lot of stable periods with plenty of change in general.
The correct answer for that reason would be B.
Answer:
C) Initially mutation will be the only source of variation in the population
Explanation:
In this experiment, mutation will be the only source of variation in the population.
Therefore, natural selection cannot begin operating immediately on the population because there was no initial variation.
Also initial differences in the population will not be as a result of sexual selection.
Finally, mutation is a random process. Despite the two populations being identical they will accumulate different mutations. Therefore after 100 generations the two populations will not be genetically identical.
After proteins are synthesized..I am pretty sure
