Question

In a population of doves in a forest, a small group of long-tailed doves migrates to another forest. Over successive generations, the population in the new habitat shows more of the long-tailed doves than the short-tailed ones. Which factor could be responsible for this microevolution?
Stabilizing selection
Founder effect
Gene mutation
Bottleneck effect

Answer 1

@Sabo @!Call~Me~Addi! ?

Answer 2

Founder Effect?

Answer 3

I think it's that too, I was in between that and Stabilizing

Answer 4

the founder effect is the loss of genetic variation that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population

A population bottleneck is a sharp reduction in size of a population due to environmental stochastic events (such as earthquakes, floods, fires, or droughts) or human activities

Stabilizing or ambidirectional selection, is a type of natural selection in which genetic diversity decreases as the population stabilizes on a particular trait value. This is thought to be the most common mechanism of action for natural selection because most traits do not appear to change drastically over time

In genetics, a mutation is a change of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal genetic element.

Here is the definition so you can check his answer :)

Answer 5

it's founder effect

Answer 6

yah

Answer 7

yep you are right :)

Answer 8

yeppers sooooo right

Answer 9

hahaha lol don't forget to close the question @melanaelise ^_~
