Answer :
Complete question:
On a separate sheet of paper, answer the following questions.
1. Describe the circumstances under which mutation will have a real evolutionary effect. Describe the circumstances under which mutation will not have a real evolutionary effect discussion.
2. This question may be completed independently or as a group discussion. Describe a hypothetical scenario of natural selection for a trait. Be sure to describe each of the key elements (such as how the trait varies in the population, how the trait factors into resource competition, and how the gene frequency changes after several generations).
3. This question may be completed independently or as a group discussion. Describe a hypothetical scenario of the founder effect for a trait where substantial genetic variation is lost (causing a genetic bottleneck). Be sure to describe each of the key elements (such as why the founder effect event occurs, why genetic information is lost, and how the trait frequency changes over multiple generations).
4. This question may be completed independently or as a group discussion. Describe a hypothetical scenario of gene flow for a trait. Be sure to describe each of the key elements (such as the trait frequency in the two populations prior to gene flow, why gene flow occurs, and the consequences of the gene flow event in future generations).
