What are the two types of Genetic Drift? Explain them
What is Founders affect - lack of genetic variation due to a small mating population
Bottleneck Effect - occurs when there is a disaster that only leaves a small handful of a population.

The diagram below represents four different species of wild birds. Each species has feet with different structural adaptations
The development of these adaptations can best be explained by the concept of:
A. inheritance of characteristics acquired after birds hatch from the egg
B. natural selection

What is the difference between logistic and exponential growth?
Logistic growth = occurs when a population’s growth slows or stops. Carrying Capacity
Exponential growth = occurs when individuals in a population reproduce at a constant rate without limits.
