Which of the following is not a step in the evolutionary process?
A)Mutation results in the formation of new alleles and sexual reproduction results in new combinations of alleles.
B)New genes are introduced into a population when members of that population mate with members of other species.
C)Genetic variation is inherited by the next generation of a population.
D)Genetic drift, gene flow, and or natural selection cause allele frequencies to change over time.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The introduction of new genes from members of another species is not a step in the evolutionary process as it refers to inter-species hybridization or genetic engineering, which is not a natural process of evolution. Evolutionary processes primarily involve changes in the frequency of existing genes and alleles within a population over generations.
