Darwin believed that certain parts of the body get larger and more complex through the generations because they :

1. are used more extensively than other parts 

2. contribute to greater reproductive success

The wings of a bird and that of an insect are:

Genetic drift occurs when a few individuals of a species colonize an island. The particular phenomenon is known as:

(a) The bottleneck effect

(b) The founder effect

(c) Assortative mating

(d) Random mating 

Directional selection favours:

(1) Both extremes of a trait

(2) Intermediate form of a trait

(3) Environmental differences

(4) One extreme form over the other extreme form and over intermediate forms of the trait
