BIOLOGY - EVOLUTION

Describe three examples of populations failing to achieve perfect adaptation, each from one of the following five course topics: population genetics, evolution of quantitative traits, life history evolution, kin selection, or sexual selection (2 POINTS). For each example explain which evolutionary mechanisms are operating (2 POINTS) and how they interact to result in imperfect adaptation (1 POINT).
