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

In allopatric speciation, reproductive isolation is initially caused by:
1. | behavioral barriers | 2. | postzygotic barriers |
3. | geographic barriers | 4. | ecological barriers |
Persons with sickle cell trait are resistant to severe malaria. This shows:

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

A small population experiences a sudden crash in size due to a natural calamity. The biggest threat to the population is:
1. loss of genetic variability
2. tendency towards assortative mating
3. reduced gene flow
4. Hardy - Weinberg disequilibrium
