Q. No.In Britain, with the passage of clean air legislation, the frequency of melanic forms of the peppered moth decreased dramatically. This is called :
1.
saltatory evolution
2.
retrograde evolution
3.
reverse evolution
4.
Antievolution
An allele that reduces the fitness of organisms is found to decrease very rapidly in a population. Most likely this allele is:
1. recently mutated
2. rare
3. dominant
4. recessive
The persistence of different genotypes in a population through heterozygote superiority is an example of:
| 1. | mutation | 2. | parallel evolution |
| 3. | polymorphism | 4. | adaptive radiation |
The set of all genes, or genetic information, in a unit of evolution is called the :
1. genotype
2. polymorphism
3. multiple allelism
4. gene pool

The most critical evolutionary process, that leads to changes in allele frequencies and favors or promotes adaptation as a product of evolution, is :
