In a relatively small iguana population the allelic frequency is tracked for three generations. Webbing is a recessive allele; n

o webbing is the dominant allele. During one very rainy spring and summer, a flood washes all the iguana without webbed feet out to sea. By the fall, and three generations later, you have the gene pool seen here. This is an example of A) gene flow. B) immigration. C) genetic drift. D) founder effect.

Answer:

C) genetic drift.

Explanation:

In this question, the alleles of the dominant trait that is without webbed feet are eliminated from the population due to flood in the area where the iguana population was living.

This elimination of the dominant alleles due to flood is a by chance event or a random event. This event changed the gene pool of the population and the population with left or recessive alleles will survive.

This change in the gene pool of a small population due to the random effect is known as the genetic drift.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation: The random change in the gene pool is due to genetic drift. Remember, genetic drift occurs at a more rapid rate when the population size is reduced. The flood is a random occurrence. It could have as easily been a drought.

Which of the following is a limitation of using a model to study a natural event?
Leto [7]

Answer:

C. The results of a model event may not be similar enough to the results of the actual event.

Explanation:

The problem with models is that sometimes we trust them too much! Sometimes they are not accurate for long-term actual events. This is answer choice C.

  • Models are never more accurate than reality, so rule out A.
  • The model is based on our predictions of the actual event, so rule out B.
  • The model being "too similar" to the actual event is what we want! So rule out D.
