Question 33

relationship of genome to organism is same as

Answer 33

gene pool to popualion

Question 34

some critics of evolution believe that the theory of evolution is flawed because it is based on random changes, mutations. they say that a random change in roganism is lkely to harm it, not make it function better, what logical statment could a defedner of evolution make in reply to this ctitism

Answer 34

mutation ins random, but natural selection has a nonrandom sorting effect

Question 35

a zoologist ound that population of frogs in macgregor’s pond, half genes for skin color in gene pool were alleles for green spots and half genes were alales for brown spots, which of following could cuase these proportions to change

Answer 35

drought shrinks pond so that only 5 frogs remains, females prefer to mate with brown spotted amles, green spotted frogs can hide mroe eaisly among pond weeds, filling in nearby pond cause those frogs to move to macgregor’s pond
