Red Kites Are Endangered Hawks Distributed in Populations Scattered Throughout

question 43

Multiple Choice

Red kites are endangered hawks distributed in populations scattered throughout western and central Europe.In a recent study,investigators found 10 different alleles of a mitochondrial DNA gene.They discovered that the large population in central Spain had five different alleles of the gene.The population on Majorca (an island off the south coast of Spain) ,in contrast,had only one of those five.From this,you can infer that

• A) the Majorca population is less genetically diverse than the population in Spain and has likely remained genetically isolated from the Spanish populations.
• B) the Majorca population is less genetically diverse than the population in Spain but receives high levels of gene flow;it is not genetically isolated from the Spanish populations.
• C) the Majorca population is less genetically diverse than the population in Spain but is not genetically isolated from populations in central Europe.
• D) the Majorca population is more genetically diverse than the population in Spain and receives high levels of gene flow from central Europe.
• E) the Majorca population is more genetically diverse than the population in Spain but is genetically isolated from populations in central Europe.
