Synapsids evolved from basal amniotes and are one of the two major groups of the later amniotes; the other is the sauropsids, a group that includes modern reptiles and birds. The distinctive temporal fenestra developed in the ancestral synapsid about 312 million years ago, during the Late Carboniferous period.Amniotes called synapsids were the ancestors of mammals. ... Some synapsids evolved into therapsids, which became widespread during the Permian Period. The few therapsids that survived the Triassic takeover were small, arboreal insect eaters. They were also nocturnal

A population of Anolis lizards lives on the mainland. During a storm, three groups of Anolis migrate to three islands, one large

natka813 [3]

Answer:

(i) Small island

(ii) Large island

(iii) Option-3

Explanation:

In the given question, the three population of the Anoles Lizards migrated to three islands of different size.

(i) Genetic drift is a random or by the chance process which changes the frequency of the alleles in the population. The change in the frequency of the allele can be easily observed in the small population therefore the small island with the smallest size of the population will have the strongest genetic drift.

(ii) Heterozygosity of alleles that is with a dominant and a recessive allele is the result of the exchange of alleles in the population. The size of the population is finite on the island therefore the heterozygosity is not introduced in the small population but in a large population, it can be introduced as the mating is random.

(iii) The genetic drift is strongest on the small island therefore L2 allele can be easily influenced by this effect. The selection coefficient is very small that is 0.002 therefore no mutation is occurring on the island.
