Summary Introduction

Introduction: 

The hurricane kills 98% of a population of cranes. The population eventually rebounds to its original size, but the amount of genetic variation in the rebounded population is significantly less so this example of both the founder effect as well as the bottleneck effect.

Adaptation and change in populations involves the interplay of many factors. Below is a list of some of the events necessary for change to occur in a population.    A selective pressure is placed on the population (such as predators, change in abiotic conditions, competition). Reproduction by surviving organisms in the population passes traits with selective advantage to the next generation. Organisms within a population are varied, have distinct characteristics. The organisms with characteristics that provide a selective advantage survived the pressure (survival of the fittest). Put these events in the correct order.
worldwide, pest insects destroy a significant portion of food crops. for each new insecticide used, insecticides resistant insects appear and lead to the development of insecticide- resistant populations. all insecticide is a poison that  kills insects  describe the selective pressure ( driver of selection) in the example above and explain the reasoning for your choice
Suppose there is a deleterious mutation in some human gene that causes loss of function very late in life. Which of the following statements is LEAST supported? Selection against this mutation is weak The equilibrium frequency of this mutation will depend on its mutation rate The mutation affects fitness but not senescence Selection against this allele depends on extrinsic mortality.
