Can tapeworms lead to weight gain in individuals?

Yes, tapeworms can lead to weight gain in individuals by absorbing nutrients from the host's digestive system, causing the host to lose weight despite eating more.


Does the process of evolution occur at the individual level, where selection happens to individuals, or at the population level, where selection happens to populations?

Evolution occurs at the population level, where selection happens to populations rather than individuals.


What causes temporal isolation between populations?

Temporal isolation between populations is caused by differences in the timing of reproductive activities, such as mating seasons or times of day when individuals are most active. This can prevent individuals from different populations from mating and producing offspring, leading to reproductive isolation.


How can one calculate genetic distance between individuals or populations?

Genetic distance between individuals or populations can be calculated by comparing the differences in their DNA sequences. This can be done by analyzing specific genetic markers or using advanced techniques like whole-genome sequencing. The more differences there are in the DNA sequences, the greater the genetic distance between the individuals or populations.


What is a scenario causes gene flow?

A scenario that causes gene flow is when individuals from one population migrate to and interbreed with individuals from another population, exchanging genetic material. This movement of individuals can result in the transfer of genes between populations, increasing genetic diversity and potentially altering the genetic makeup of both populations.
