← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when venomous snake populations experience gene flow?
A)Hybrid vigor reduces venom potency
B)Increased resistance in prey populations✓
C)Selection favors smaller fangs for injecting
D)Higher individual mutation accumulation occurs
💡 Explanation
Increased genetic diversity introduced due to gene flow can lead to the selection and spread of venom resistance mechanisms in prey populations, because natural selection promotes greater survival of resistant individuals. Therefore, resistance increases, rather than decreasing potency via hybrid vigour or favoring reduced traits.
