What exactly does the nature act upon when selecting an organism?
1. dominant alleles
2. recessive alleles
3. phenotype
4. combined genotype

Identify the incorrect statement:

Which of the following would be an example of a population that can show the potential for rapid speciation?

A population geneticist finds that a new allele in a population has suddenly increased in frequency. Most likely this allele is:
1. mutating rapidly
2. flowing with emigrants
3. strongly selected for
4. a product of assortative mating

Which of the following types of natural selection reduces variation but does not change the mean value?

In modern terms, selection refers to :

An island population faced a natural calamity and the population crashed to only 30 organisms. After some time the number of organisms grew to 5000 but still the threat of extinction is large. This is most likely due to:

The number of individuals expressing the dominant phenotype in a population of 200 is 182. What is the frequency of the dominant allele in this population?

Humans appeared during the epoch:
1. Pleistocene
2. Pliocene
3. Miocene
4. Oligocene

A mutation appears in a sub-population of organisms separated from the other group by in the same large geographical area. This mutation can spread to the other subgroup by:
1. induced muations
2. mutations in the gene pool of the other subgroup
3. mutation pressures
4. crossovers
