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

Why are vestigial structures not removed by natural selection

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

How is radioactive dating important for providing evidence for evolution

It tells you when the animal that made a fossil was alive.

Radio carbon dating proves scientifically the age of a given material. If a fossil is found embedded in material that is x number of years old and a similar fossil is found x number of years older or younger then we can surmise the evolution of that species. There are thousands of examples of theoretical evolution using this method.

Why are archaea in a different domain from bacteria

They are thought to have separate paths of evolutionary development.

They developed along different evolutionary paths.

They had independent evolutionary development.

When is genetic drift a major factor in evolution

When there is low gene flow

When there is no selective pressure

When there is a bottleneck

When will natural selection occur

Natural selection occurs when four conditions are met:

1. There is variation among individuals.

2. That variation is at least partially heritable.

3. That variation is linked to differential reproductive success.

4. More individuals are born than can survive and reproduce.

What could have been responsible for the change in amino acid from gorillas to humans

The proteins in the amino-acids might have been responsible for the change in the hemoglobin between gorillas and humans.

Why is evolution considered a theory and not a hypothesis or a law

evolution is considered a theory and not a hypothesis or law because there is no real proof or evidence to prove evolution.

What happens when a population is in hardy weinberg equillibrium

You mama

The allele frequency does not change.

Which must be true for two organisms to be considered the same species

They can produce fertile offspring.
