Common baboons live on the savanna in breeding groups called troops. While females tend to stay with the troop, younger or less dominant males may leave to join a neighboring troop. Which of these is a likely outcome of movement by young males?
A
Gene flow occurs between the populations
B
relative genotypic frequencies reach a constant state
C
Allele frequencies suddenly change
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Common baboons live on the savanna in breeding groups called troops. While females tend to stay with the troop, younger or less dominant males may leave to join a neighboring troop. Which of these is a likely outcome of movement by young males? Gene flow occurs between populations.

Detailed explanation-2: -After a rainstorm, flooding brings several mice from one population to the other population. When the mice from the first population reproduce with members of the second population, which of the following will likely occur? All the offspring will die as a result of reproductive mutations.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cetaceans are whales and their relatives. The diagram shows some fossils of cetaceans. Which statement provides the best evidence that Ambulocetus natans is an ancestor of Basilosaurus isis? Homologous structures occur in each fossil.

Detailed explanation-4: -Researchers studying populations of lizards from the genus Gallotia on the Canary Islands compared the protein cytochrome b in different populations. The table shows the number of differences in the cytochrome b protein between different populations.
