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?
| 1. | 9 % | 2. | 30 % |
| 3. | 91 % | 4. | 70 % |

Though we cannot be certain, what can be the probable reason/s for the sudden disappearance of dinosaurs from the Earth?
| I: | Climatic changes killed them |
| II: | Most of them evolved into birds |
| 1. | I only | 2. | II only |
| 3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |

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 |
If you visit Africa you will find an amazing variety of species of living organisms. But you will also notice that different parts of the continents have different biodiversity. This is because the different areas of Africa will have different:
| 1. | evolutionary mechanisms | 2. | ancestors |
| 3. | environments | 4. | evolutionary times |
For differential success in reproduction, all the following must be present except:
| 1. | Gene flow between populations. |
| 2. | Variations must be genetically inherited. |
| 3. | Certain variations allow an individual to produce more offspring that survive in the next generation. |
| 4. | There must be variations in the phenotypes of individuals. |
