Title: Suppose that the only population of a certain reptile species lives on an Africa Post by: colleen on Aug 19, 2012 Suppose that the only population of a certain reptile species lives on an African mountain. If you could prevent all movement of individuals out of this large but isolated population, which of the following describes the most likely future of this reptile population?
A) Evolution will promptly cease. B) The population will go extinct after a few generations because of inbreeding. C) Evolution will continue because of mutations, assortative mating, and genetic drift. D) The bottleneck effect will cause major evolutionary changes in the isolated population. E) The population will survive only as long as the environment remains constant.
