Explanation / Answer

Answer

12-d) Orthologous gene - these gene retain their function in different spp. which evolved from common ancestors

13- b) Alfred Wegener proposd continental drift theory.

14-b)phylogenetics is the study of evolutionary relationship among groups of organisms.

15- true) mutations add variations in population and natural selection provide opportunity to that variations in population

16) 1.there was variation in flower colour of snapdragon

2. Some of variation was heritable in snapdragon

3.plants vary in their reproductive success

4.reproduction was non random

17-true) it is true that gradual evolution results from small genetic changes that are acted on by natural selection.

18-true) mutation is one of the source of variations, other are like random mating, crossing over, gene flow.....etc.
