The only evolutionary agent that produces adaptive evolutionary changes is :
(1) Nonrandom mating
(2) Mutation
(3) Genetic drift
(4) Natural selection
............... operates to eliminate intermediate phenotypes.
(1) Directional selection
(2) Disruptive selection
(3) Stabilizing selection
(4) Random chance
The selecting agent in industrial melanism was:
(1) humans
(2) toxins from smoke
(3) birds
(4) tree bark
Natural selection acts on an organism’s:
(1) dominant alleles
(2) recessive, homozygous alleles
(3) phenotype
(4) combined genotype
