General Biology 2 - Mechanisms of Evolution
UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
What is Genetic Variation? - Correct answers✔✔For a population to start evolving the members
of the population must go through variations. Without any genetic variation, the basic
mechanism of evolutionary change cannot activate.
What are the Mechanisms of Evolution? - Correct answers✔✔Natural Selection, Mutation, Gene
Flow, Gene Drift and Recombination.
What is Natural Selection? - Correct answers✔✔Natural Selection is a process whereby
organisms better adapt to their environment and tend to survive and produce more offspring.
How's and Why's of Genetic Change - Correct answers✔✔The offspring with inherited
characteristics that allow the best competition for limited resources, will survive and have more
offspring.
Natural Selection can only occur if? - Correct answers✔✔*There is variation within the
population.
*Overproduction of offspring leads to competition for survival which leads to.
*Adaption where individuals with beneficial adaptation are more likely to survive and pass on
their genes.
*Which can result in the Selection.
What is Mutation?? - Correct answers✔✔Change in the DNA sequence due to a mutagen or an
error in DNA replication or protein synthesis.
