Instructions Below are examples of the three mechanisms of evolution Natural selection genetic drift and gene flow Read each example below In the space provided identify the mechanisms of evolution and explain your choice 1 Insects on a farmer s crop are sprayed with an insecticide Most of the insects die Some survive and pass the resistance to their offspring Next time the crops are sprayed with the same insecticide most of the insects survive a Mechanism of evolution b Expain 2 A Maine coon cat is brought to an island where only wild tabby cats live After mating with other cats on the island some of the kittens have bushy tails and tufted ears a Mechanism of evolution b Explain 3 A large population of marmots about half of which have spots becomes very ill More spotted marmots than un spotted marmots are left as a result un spotted marmots become very rare as time progresses a Mechanism of evolution b Explain 4 A population of flowers on one side of a river transports pollen to the flowers on the other side of the river producing offspring a Mechanism of evolution b Explain 5 In a population of finches there are short thick beaks and long thin beaks After a long drought the only food source remaining are hard seeds that are difficult to crack The birds with the short thick beaks find it easier to crack the seeds These birds are more likely to survive and reproduce a Mechanism of evolution b 6 A wildflower population consisting of blue purple and pink flowers is subjected to a mudslide that kills most of the blue ones As time progresses blue flowers eventually die out leaving only purple and pink wildflowers a Mechanism of evolution b Explain 7 Red parrots are brought on an expedition to a remote section of jungle with only blue parrots introducing color variation into the gene pool of jungle parrots a Mechanism of evolution b Explain 8 The very last red billed mallard dies leaving only orange billed mallard populations behind a Mechanism of evolution b Explain

The theory of endosymbiosis claims that millions of years ago aerobic bacteria were taken inside of anaerobic cells through endophagocytosis The aerobic bacteria then fed on the half digested food molecules in the cell s cytoplasm and gained a great amount of energy which in turn benefited the host cell Since both organisms benefited they formed an endosymbiotic relationship the bacteria evolved into organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts and the aerobic cells evolved into eukaryotic cells Which of the following can be cited as evidence for the theory of endosymbiosis O A Mitochondria contain multiple linear chromosomes similar to those found in eukaryotic cells OB Mitochondria are typically above 50 microns in size whereas eukaryotic cells are typically smaller than 10 microns OC Eukaryotic cells appeared on Earth around 1 5 billion years ago whereas chloroplasts appeared on Earth only 2 5 million years ago The ribosomes of chloroplasts are more similar in structure to ribosomes found in prokaryotes than to ribosomes found in eukaryotes COD

Suppose one large group of frogs on the mainland uses a low pitched call to attract mates while otherwise identical frogs on a nearby island use a high pitched call A boat carries a few high pitched frogs in its cargo to the mainland Which of the following answer choices best predicts the outcome of this event The frogs from the islands introduce new genes to the mainland gene pool causing a change of pitch in the mainland frog population The frogs from the islands are quickly eliminated by natural selection because they sound different than the mainland frogs The mainland frogs learn to make high pitched calls and pass on this adaptation in their genes to future generations The mainland frogs respond to competition with the new frogs by genetically mutating the offspring to produce hig pitched calls
