Which of the following scenarios would NOT result in genetic flow?Select one:a.A population of deer with thick coats lives in a colder northern climate. Due to high habitat loss, these deer migrate south and successfully mate with another population of deer with thinner fur coats.b.Pollen from a population of white poppies is spread to a population of orange poppies by hummingbirds that drink the nectar from both poppy populations.c.A species of green beetles is in an agricultural cargo shipment and is relocated to a new habitat to thrive.d.A population of finches on the mainland interbreeds with the population of finches on

Solution

The scenario that would NOT result in genetic flow is:

c. A species of green beetles is in an agricultural cargo shipment and is relocated to a new habitat to thrive.

This is because genetic flow, also known as gene flow, involves the transfer of genetic variation from one population to another. If the beetles are simply relocated and do not interbreed with another beetle population in their new location, then no genetic variation is being transferred, and thus, there is no genetic flow.
