Gene flow quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Gene flow card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
It has been shown that it takes only "one migrant per generation" to prevent ______ from diverging due to drift.
Answer
populations. It has been shown that it takes only "one migrant per generation" to prevent populations from diverging due to drift. From the Gene flow article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Constituent assembly. Constituent assembly 77 · Gene flow 74 · Glycoprotein 69 · Dyeing 66 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- If the rate of gene flow is high enough, then two populations will have equivalent allele frequencies and therefore can be considered a single effective population.
- It has been shown that it takes only "one migrant per generation" to prevent populations from diverging due to drift.
- Populations can diverge due to selection even when they are exchanging alleles, if the selection pressure is strong enough.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gene flow article was read about 26,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 67: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
How to get Gene flow
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
