Question

a biology teacher asks students to give examples of genetic variations that support the idea that changes in a populations environment affect genetic variation. which is the least supportive example?
changes in genetics in human populations
antibiotic resistance in bacteria populations
pesticide resistance in garden insects
changes in the color of the peppered moth population in england

Explanation:

• Antibiotic resistance in bacteria populations occurs because of the selective pressure of antibiotics in their environment.
• Pesticide resistance in garden insects is due to the use of pesticides in their environment.
• The change in the color of the peppered moth population in England is related to environmental changes (e.g., pollution affecting tree bark color).
• Changes in genetics in human populations are often influenced by many complex factors (not just environmental changes in a straightforward selective - pressure - like way as the other examples).

Answer:

changes in genetics in human populations
