You are researching a population of moles. in the course of your research, you identify a nearby population that occasionally comes into contact with your study population.
what best describes the evolutionary process at work?

a. mutation
b. natural selection
c. artificial selection
d. gene flow
e. genetic drift

All living organisms are composed of a. only one cell. b. at least 100 cells. c. at least three cells. d. one or more cells.

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines, and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. when most populations of a wide-ranging amphibian species are lost and the few remaining populations are widely separated, we expect to see that a. the founder effect becomes increasingly important b. microevolution no longer occurs c. gene flow between populations is reduced d. artificial selection becomes a greater factor in microevolution
