Use the description of a population below to answer the next two questions. In a population of pink fairy armadillos, individuals exhibit no variation in body color. Individuals have no preference for body color when choosing mates. The population is very large, and when males reach sexual maturity, they leave this "home" population to find a new group of individuals to mate with. Sometimes males from other populations come into this population to mate. No mutations in body color have been recorded. Question 3 5 pts Do you predict that this population will maintain Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the trait of fin pattern over time? Why or why not? Yes, because the population is large, there is no preference in mating, and all males are equally likely to mate. O Yes, because when males become adults they leave the population, and males from other populations can join this population. No, because when males become adults they leave the population, and males from other populations can join this population. O No, because the population is large, there is no preference in mating, and all males are equally likely to mate.

D Question 4 Based on your answer to the previous question, select the BEST answer below. There is no mechanism of evolution occurring. O The mechanism of evolution occurring in this population is gene flow. O The mechanism of evolution occurring in this population is assortative mating. O The mechanism of evolution occurring in this population is natural selection. O The mechanism of evolution occurring in this population is genetic drift. 5 pts
