There are 4 factors for evolution: mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection. Natural selection is the strongest
There are choices for this question namely:
<span>A) genetic bottleneck.
B) sexual selection.
C) habitat differentiation.
D) founder effect.

The correct answer is founder effect. The definition of founder effect is the loss of genetic variation when a new population is established in a small number of individuals from a larger population. The larger population in the context is the ecosystem in Hawaii before it rose from the sea surface. After it rose above the sea surface, most organisms will not be able to survive in land but there will be a small population that can evolve from there.
The correct answer is: A. A change in a cell's genetic material.
Mutations occur in DNA as a result of mistakes during the DNA replication (when repair mechanisms don’t fix it) or as the result of environmental factors (e.g. UV light). Mutations can have positive impact, by increasing the genetic variation or can have negative effect, causing the diseases or cancer.
