Species formation without branching of the evolutionary line of descent is called as:
1. anagenesis, or phyletic evolution
2. cladogenesis, or divergent evolution
3. convergent evolution
4. allopatry
According to the modern view of Darwinism, the unit of natural selection is the :
1. population
2. individual
3. species
4. community
In recent years, DNA sequences (nucleotide sequence) of mtDNA and Y chromosomes were considered for the study of human evolution, because
1. | they are small, and therefore, easy to study |
2. | they are uniparental in origin and do not take part in recombination |
3. | their structure is known in greater detail. |
4. | they can be studied from the samples of fossil remains. |
