  • explain why genetically diverse populations are more likely to contain individuals that withstand environmental pressure
  • predict how a bottleneck or low genetic diversity changes susceptibility to disease and risk of decline
  • explain why an allele that is adaptive in one environment may be deleterious under different selection pressures

[Maximum number: 1]

Researchers study mechanisms that enable or prevent speciation.

Based on Figure 2, explain how genetic differences among the species in the Gadidae family determine the habitats in which they can survive.
