Evolution
77. Gene flow is one force that can cause evolutionary change. Which example best illustrates gene flow?A. A flock of migrating geese enters into the territory of another flock and begins interbreeding.

to exhibit new characteristics.
C.
Some individuals in a flock of geese have genes that are more advantageous, and over time, the numbers of these geese increase.D. A flock of migrating geese loses its way to its wintering grounds, leaving other geese without competition for resources and enabling those geese to produce more offspring
