The various taxonomic levels (viz, genera, classes, etc.) of the hierarchical classification system differ from each other on the basis of

#Unit 9. Diversity of Life Forms
  1. how widely the organisms assigned to each are distributed throughout the environment.
  2. the body sizes of the organisms assigned to each.
  3. their inclusiveness.
  4. the relative genome sizes of the organisms assigned to each.

Which of the following statements is an example of genetic drift?

a. Allele g for fat production increases in a small population because birds with more body fat have higher survivorship in a harsh winter.

b. Random mutation increases the frequency of allele A in one population but not in another.

c. Allele R reaches a frequency of 1.0 because individuals with genotype rr are sterile.

d. Allele m is lost when a virus kills all but a few individuals and just by chance none of the survivors possess allele m
