D

14.

One advantage of variation in a species population is that individuals

A. with favoured traits become dominant

A

15.

Mendel's second law of inheritance states that

A. alleles combine randomly

B. alleles segregates independently

C. alleles seperate predictably

D. chromosomes segregates independently

B

16.

The intensity of competition among animals in a given area will increase with

A. an increase in the frequency of disease outbreaks

B. an increase in population size

C. a decrease in immigration rate

D. an increase in the emigration rate

Detailed Solution

An increase in population will cause there to be a greater fight for the resources in the area, this leads to an increase in competition.
