Answer 3

Herbert Spencer

Question 4

Mechanism for natural selection

Answer 4

Mutation
Gene migration
Gene Drift

Question 5

Changes in genetic levels ( happens all the time and never noticed.) Most mutations are harmful and dangerous but rarely become positive forces for changes.

Answer 5

Mutations

Question 6

A new set of genes come from a different area and mixes with old population to creat a new population.

Answer 6

Gene Migration

Question 7

When a size of a population is too small, there are reductions of variety, hence, everyone shares some genes
- where the ultimate home of the two legged creatures including humans

Answer 7

Gene Drift
