2026 REAL QUESTIONS WITH
EXPERTLY VERIFIED ANSWERS.
1. 360 out of 1000 individuals in a population have a genotype of
AA while 480 have Aa genotype. The rest 160 belong to aa.
Frequency allele A in this population is... - correct answer -0.6
2. A population of tics contains red and black ticks in roughly
equal numbers. Several red ticks latch onto a bird that flies
them to a new area and they start a new population. This is an
example of... - correct answer -the founder effect
3. Which two levels of taxonomy are used in binomial

5. A population of lizards contains equal amounts of both green
and brown lizards. After a forest fire, many of the green lizards
were lost. Now there are many more brown lizards than green.
This is an example of... - correct answer -genetic drift
6. The punctuated model of speciation describes the process of
speciation being gradual and occurring over a long time. -
correct answer -False
7. How can mass extinctions lead to macroevolution? - correct
answer -all of the above
8. All of our cells ( that aren't gametes) have the exact same
DNA. However, we have hundreds of cell types with unique
functions. How is this possible? - correct answer -During body
development, cells divide asymmetrically by mitosis. Therefore,
they inherit different factors that control which genes are
expressed.
9. During his voyage, Darwin noticed that different Islands within
the Galapagos Islands had species of finches that were
specific to each island. Each finch species had a uniquely
shaped beak. What is the best explanation for why the various
