Founder effect

Question 22

Bottleneck effect

Directional

Question 25

Conditions favor both extremes but not intermediate range

Answer 25

Disruptive

Question 26

Conditions favor intermediate range acting against extremes.

One sex chooses mates

Question 30

Mechanisms to preserve/restore variation

Diploidy (plants)
Balancing selection
Heterozygous advantage
Frequency dependent selection

Only acts on existing variation
Limited to historical constants
Adaption often compromised
Chance natural selection and environmental interaction (mutation)
