Q. No.The process by which organisms with different evolutionary histories evolve similar phenotypic adaptations in response to a common environmental challenge is called:
1.
Natural selection
2.
Convergent evolution
3.
Non-random evolution
4.

In the human population the frequency of which of the following will always be more than what is apparent?
| 1. | somatic mutations | 2. | dominant alleles |
| 3. | recessive alleles | 4. | females |
In allopatric speciation, reproductive isolation is initially caused by:
| 1. | behavioral barriers | 2. | postzygotic barriers |
| 3. | geographic barriers | 4. | ecological barriers |
The most critical evolutionary process, that leads to changes in allele frequencies and favors or promotes adaptation as a product of evolution, is :

A population geneticist finds that a new allele in a population has suddenly increased in frequency. Most likely this allele is:
1. mutating rapidly
2. flowing with emigrants
3. strongly selected for
4. a product of assortative mating
An island population faced a natural calamity and the population crashed to only 30 organisms. After some time the number of organisms grew to 5000 but still the threat of extinction is large. This is most likely due to:
| 1. | Founder effect | 2. | Bottleneck effect |
| 3. | Edge effect | 4. | Heterosis |
The number of individuals expressing the dominant phenotype in a population of 200 is 182. What is the frequency of the dominant allele in this population?

| 3. | 91 % | 4. | 70 % |

In some African populations, the frequency of the sickle cell allele in the human population is much higher than normal. This can be an example of:
| 1. | gene flow | 2. | heterozygote advantage |
| 3. | genetic drift | 4. | nonrandom mating |
