A scientist is studying two populations of the same species of birds - one in Michigan and one in Montana. Both populations are relatively large (with more than 10,000 individuals each). However, the Michigan population has a much lower genetic diversity than the Montana population. Which of the following accurately describes these two populations?Multiple choice question.The Michigan population likely experienced a bottleneck in the past. Both populations are equally susceptible to genetic drift.The Montana population likely experienced a bottleneck in the past. The Michigan population is currently more susceptible to genetic drift.The Michigan population likely experienced a bottleneck in the past and is currently more susceptible to genetic drift.The Montana population likely experienced a bottleneck in the past and it is also more susceptible to genetic drift.

If two populations that are geographically distant from one another regularly experience gene flow (ex: through migration), those populations are most likely Blank______.Multiple choice question.the same speciestwo different speciesthe same subspecies, but not the same species

In which of the following situations is biodiversity in a population likely to decrease over time causing a genetic bottleneck?A.Two new individuals of deer join an existing deer population.B.A storm kills 75 percent of a population of a species of a bird population in an area.C.A neutral mutation occurs in an individual of a population.D.A tree falls in a forest disrupting the habitat of several squirrels.

Which of the following is the most predictable outcome of increased gene flow between two populations?Question 5Select one:a.lower average fitness in both populationsb.higher average fitness in both populationsc.increased genetic difference between the two populationsd.decreased genetic difference between the two populationsClear my choice

Which type of genetic drift occurs when many members of a population die, resulting in a great loss of genetic diversity?Multiple Choicethe founder effectthe bottleneck effectthe directional effectthe selective effectNone of the answer choices are correct.

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
