Two isolated populations of lizards live on separate islands. Some individuals from island A are transplanted to island B, and they successfully breed with the local lizards. What effect does this event have on the genetic differences between the two populations' gene pools? Can this logically cause the population on island B to less adapted to its environment? Gene pools become more different; No Gene pools become more different; Yes Gene pools remain the same; Yes Gene pools become more similar; No Gene pools become more similar; Yes Gene pools remain the same; No

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
