Suppose you are doing a study on the wealth of the population in your town. You take a random survey of 100 people. Which would NOT be a characteristic of the sample group? A) The age of the sample group. B) The gender of the sample group. C) The education level of the sample group. D) The total number of people in the population.

The total number of people in the population ( D )

Step-by-step explanation:

When you take a random survey of 100 people for study as with the case in the question to the study the wealth of the population in the town, this sample of 100 people represents the total number of people in the population where you are carrying out your survey. hence The total number of people in the population is not a characteristic of the sample group understudy.

But : The age of the sample group, the gender of the sample group and the education level of the sample group is considered because these qualities affect how wealth is distributed in the population. (these are qualitative characteristics ) as regards the study

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
