Question

question 3 of 10
which of the following would cause gene flow?
a. individuals moving out of a population
b. mutation
c. artificial selection
d. stabilizing pressure

Explanation:

Gene flow is the transfer of genetic material from one population to another. When individuals move out of a population (emigration), they take their genes with them, which affects the gene pool of the original population. Mutation (B) creates new alleles. Artificial selection (C) is human - directed breeding. Stabilizing pressure (D) is a type of natural selection that favors average traits. Only option A directly relates to the movement of genes between populations (gene flow).

Answer:

A. Individuals moving out of a population
