2 Multiple Choice 20 points Common baboons live on the savanna in breeding groups called troops. While females tend to stay with the troop, younger or less dominant males may leave to join a neighboring troop. Which of these is a likely outcome of movement by young males? Gene flow occurs between populations Allele frequencies suddenly change Relative genotypic frequencies reach a constant state Intermediate phenotypes increase in the species

## Step 1<br />The problem is about the potential outcomes of young male baboons moving between different troops. This is a form of gene flow, which is the transfer of genetic variation from one population to another. <br /><br />## Step 2<br />Gene flow can occur when individuals from one population migrate to another and breed. This can introduce new genetic material into the receiving population, which can alter the genetic makeup of that population.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The other options, such as allele frequencies suddenly changing, relative genotypic frequencies reaching a constant state, or intermediate phenotypes increasing in the species, are not likely outcomes of young male baboons moving between troops. These outcomes are more likely to occur due to other factors such as genetic drift, mutation, or natural selection, rather than gene flow.
