Question

The degree of gene flow that takes place depends on

• A. The size of the gaps that separate the population
• B. The distance over which mating usually takes place
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both A and B

The transfer of alleles from one population to another is known as gene flow. The most significant factor in affecting the gene flow includes gap size separating population which means more is the size, less is the gene flow. Similarly, distance over which mating takes place also influences gene flow. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
