What is gene flow

Gene flow is genes moving between two populations.

the transfer of genes from one gene pool to another

two populations transferring genes

Which is an example of a vestigial structure

tailbone of a human

whale pelvis bone

Why are vestigial structures not removed by natural selection

Vestigial structures do not harm the organism. Nature selects against only harmful traits.

How does reducing gene flow cause speciation

It allows divergence to occur

It allows populations to become genetically different.

What is an effect of adaptive radiation

Speciation Adaptive radiation refers to changes in a species in response to varying environmental conditions.

many new species form

What best describes adaptive radiation

Biodiversity resulting from few ancestors, APEX LEARNING

How can islation lead to formation of new species

Allopatric Speciation (geographic isolation) can lead to the formation of a new species because the population is split in two smaller populations by a physical barrier (river, canyon, mountain...).

Which organisms are most closely related

Apex is Mergus serrator and Mergus merganser.
