2. | Ramapithecus→Australopithecus→ Homo habilis→Homo erectus |

Which is the most common mechanism of genetic variation in the population of a sexually reproducing organism?
Variation in gene frequencies within populations can occur by chance rather than by natural selection.
This is referred to as:
1. Genetic drift
2. Random mating
3. Genetic load
4. Genetic flow
Darwin's finches are a good example of:
1. industrial melanism
2. connecting link
3. adaptive radiation
4. convergent evolution
