Answer:
c. mutation and natural selection
Explanation:
The major forces causing the genetic divergence of the two populations are <u>mutation and natural selection</u>. Natural selection results when organisms adapt to a prevailing environmental condition, those who are unable to adapt, die out. The adaptation for survival is passed on to the next generation. mutation on the other hand is a change in gene structure which results in a new variation in the population. This variation can be passed to the next generation.
Answer: the contestants and observers thought the questioners were more knowledgeable than the contestants.
Explanation: Ross et al published a paper in the journal of personality and social psychology in 1977 titled
"Social Roles, Social Control, and Biases in Social-Perception Processes". They demonstrated that our actions and perceptions are determined by roles we have to play in interpersonal encounters; this is the biasing effect social roles have on performance.
In this instance the observers and the contestants perceived the questioners as having superior knowledge as the questioners were given latitude in how they frame the questions. Due to their social roles, the questioners were "the powerful" while the contestants and observers were "the powerless" playing out their roles and not taking into account the biasing effect.
If the roles were switched around, the outcome would still be the same with each group irrespective of their actual ability and knowledge.
