Document Summary
Each of the following was a founder of modern population and quantitative genetics except: continuous traits distribution: gregor mendel, ronald fisher, sewall wright, jbs heldane. Each of the following is a neutral evolutionary process except: genetic drift, natural selection, gene flow, mutation. Each of the following is a process that can lead to evolution except: correlation, natural selection, homology, genetic drift, mutation. After learning about the advantage conferred by the gene for sickle-cell anemia in malaria infested areas, your friend asks why natural selection has not resulted in all individuals in these areas inheriting the advantage. Each of the following can constrain natural selection except: getting stuck at a local optimum, genetic drift overwhelming selection, correlation between traits, ecological stress and resource scarcity. Each of the following is true except: the effects of genetic drift are stronger in smaller populations, serial founder effects may be responsible for a higher frequency of harmful alleles in non-
