Q1/ Which NEGATIVE effect may result from population augmentation?

a)increased effecive population size

b)increased genetic diversity

C)genetic swamping

D)reduced chance of bottleneck

Q2/All EXCEPT which of the following may result in the loss of genetic diversity?

a) loss of habitat

b) introduction of a new race into an established population

c) directed breeding practices

d) population fragmentation

Q3/ All EXCEPT which of the following are consequences of reduced gene flow in a population?

a) increased genetic diversity

b) reduced survival rate

c)sterility problems

d) reduced fitness

Q1. c (genetic swamping or genetic pollution may occur. Please note, the rest three are positive effects).

Q2. c (directed breeding practices focus on certain genes and ignore others).

Q3. c (sterility problems; Reduced gene flow will result in continuous inbreeding, which will ultimately lead to sterility problems).
