Evolution Versus Natural Selection Quick Check

1. Consider the following scenario:
An animal is born with a shorter tail. This makes no difference to its ability to survive or reproduce, but as a result of pure luck, the animal survives, reproduces, and passes its shorter tail down to its offspring. Over time, the species develops a shorter tail.
What type of process is described in this scenario?
*genetic drift
2. The process of altering the genome of one species by adding genes from another species in order to gain a beneficial trait is known as
*genetic modification.
3. Consider the following scenario:
Some fish in a murky underground lake have lighter scales than the others. This makes it slightly harder for the lighter fish to escape detection by predators, but most light-colored fish live long enough to reproduce. A natural event separates the dark-scaled fish from their light-scaled cousins, and as a result, a new species of dark-scaled fish emerges.
Which statement accurately describes the scenario?
*The fish experienced an evolutionary change because of genetic drift.
4. Which scenario accurately describes an example of artificial selection?
*A farmer intentionally breeds oranges to be more resistant to aphids.
5. Over many generations, there is a good chance that an advantageous gene will be shared by every organism of the same species or that a new species will emerge. These long-term outcomes are called
These are all correct as of March 23 2022
*evolution.

100% if you use these answers. How do I know? I did the Quick Check :)

Leave a like if you get it right
if u nice give like (:
^im not nice so you get a dislike

BUT still a 100% for both of em
like this if you are in love with Tom Holland :)
Tom Holland? Seriously? Bru.
Also, I had different questions. Here are the answers.
Epigenetic changes cannot be explained by DNA structure but genetic changes can.
Beak morphology of Galapagos finches.
A decrease in species abundance.

By making observations over a long period of time.

100% hope this helps.
beepboop is still correct on 4/26/22
