What are the possible outcomes of natural selection as described in the paragraph?
Options
- AStabilisation, directional change, and disruption
- BStabilisation, genetic drift, and gene flow
- CStabilisation, mutation, and genetic recombination
- DDirectional change, gene flow, and founder effect
Correct answer
A. Stabilisation, directional change, and disruption
Step-by-step solution
Microbial experiments show that pre-existing advantageous mutations when selected will result in observation of new phenotypes. Over few generations, this would result in Speciation. Natural selection is a process in which heritable variations enabling better survival are enabled to reproduce and leave greater number of progeny. A critical analysis makes us believe that variation due to mutation or variation due to recombination during gametogenesis, or due to gene flow or genetic drift results in changed frequency
