Melissa lives in a town called greendale. she discovers that when she lights a match and holds it near her kitchen faucet, the little flame grows into a larger fire. melissa is surprised because she thought the water would extinguish the flame rather than ignite it further. her mother tells her that the water might be contaminated with dissolved methane, a primary component in natural gas. melissa investigates the matter and finds that cases of methane contamination started shortly after a company began fracking for natural gas in the area. based on this information, which three statements are plausible consequences of fracking in greendale?

1) gene flow

- it is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.

-a zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.

2) natural selection

- a mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.

-competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.

3) mutation

- permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of dna ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.

-the dna of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.

4) genetic drift - it is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.    

-a grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.
