Which of the following statements correctly describes the process of natural selection? Select all that apply.

Organisms with beneficial traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Natural selection leads to a decrease in the number of organisms in a population.

Organisms that are not well-adapted to their environment are less likely to survive.

Natural selection is a random process that does not depend on an organism’s traits.

Which of the following best describes the Founder Effect?

A disaster reducing the population to a small number, followed by recovery and expansion.

A small group splintering off and starting a new colony, affecting the gene pool of the new population.

Genetic variation caused by random mate selection and fertilization.

What happens to the gene pool of a population after a bottleneck event?

It expands with increased genetic diversity.

It narrows with some alleles lost.

It remains unchanged.

It becomes more similar to the original population.

Which of the following best describes the effects of gene flow on a population? Select all that apply:

Gene flow can result in genetic mixing across regions.

Gene flow can increase the differences between populations.

Gene flow tends to cause a population to become more genetically isolated

Migration and distribution can alter allele frequencies within sub-populations.
