Select ALL the correct answers Some individuals of a particular species of sea bird underwent a genetic mutation that resulted in larger beaks The larger size of beaks helped these birds to break open clams and other mollusks for food It also helped them defend themselves against predators After many generations almost all of the birds in the population had big beaks For which two reasons did this phenomenon occur natural selection mechanical isolation prezygotic barriers to reproduction high genetic variation in the species

John Endler hypothesized that female guppies prefer to mate with the most brightly colored males the females themselves do not have a lot of color In pools with lots of guppy predators however males remain fairly drab in color very little color Which of the following experiments would help support his hypothesis about female choice move brightly colored guppies into the pools with predators and see if they survive remove all females in a pool with or without predators and see if the color of the male guppies changes move females from a pool with brightly colored males to the pool with drab males and predators and see if the colors of the males change with time O remove the predators from a pool with drab males and see if the colors of the males change over time place tiny color blocking glasses on all female guppies and see which males they choose note guppies have no external ears so fitting them with glasses is very 16

of the following factors would NOT contribute to allopatric speciation A population becomes geographically isolated from the parent population Different mutations begin to distinguish the gene pools of the separated populations The separated population is small and genetic drift occurs Gene flow between the two populations is extensive The isolated population is exposed to different selection pressures than the ancestral population Question 16 1 point Listen frogs helonging to the same genus occasionally mate but the What is the mechanism for keeping the two frog

How would Darwin explain the fact that even though dogs have been artificially bred into many different looking breeds they can all still interbreed with one another indicating they are all the same species evolution can produce new forms of species but not new species Osignificant mutations must occur for a new species to form one species has to die off before a new one can form Omultiple species cannot form from a single species O the correct conditions and very long periods of time must elapse before new species can form

Listen Eastern and Western meadowlarks birds are two different species but have ranges that slightly over lap The two species look very similar to one another and sing similar songs Which of the following is the likely reason why biologists still consider them two different species individuals of the different species tend to fight one another each species builds a nest at a different height Ono hybrids of the two species have ever been found the two species have different diets any of these is enough to consider them two different species

Darwin studied the plants and animals of all the major continents he visited Asia Africa South America etc as well as the islands close by and compared them to each other What was the most significant observation he made in regard to this most species he studied could be found world wide the same types of habitats can be found on all continents Oisland species were always the same as those on the nearest continent the plants and animals on islands were identical wherever he went in the world each major continent appeared to have plants and animals that were similar to but not the same as other continents

Female red winged blackbirds preferentially choose males with the best songs and the brightest red patches on their wings The chosen males leave more offspring than other males What is this an example of Select all that apply a bottleneck sexual selection genetic drift natural selection none of these

Why does female preference for certain males to breed with cause evolutionary change in a population because the less chosen males will start to change to compete with the other males because choosing specific males for breeding means that the population will get smaller resulting in genetic drift because the females will start to change to become more like the most often chosen males Obecause not all males in the population will reproduce at the same rate because female choice produces gene flow which changes the population

Two species of water lilies in the same pond do not interbreed because one blooms at night and the other blooms during the day The reproductive barrier between them is an example of Omechanical isolation hybrid breakdown ecological isolation O gametic isolation temporal isolation

Why are vestigial structures in organisms such as the appendix in humans and reduced hind limb bones in some whales considered evidence for evolution O because they represent evolutionary baggage inherited from a prior version of the organism because they show that organisms can change based on need because they demonstrate the power of mutations because they are evidence of the development of new structures in organisms Obecause they demonstrates the law of use and disuse

in s time pigeon breeders had created many kinds of fancy pigeons that had altered body shapes extra long fathers or unique coloring that was different from the ancestral wild form Why was Darwin interested in this practice Obecause it showed that the most fit pigeons survived O because it showed that the pigeon form was not fixed and could be changed Obecause it showed that people have a lot of control over animal species because it showed that it is possible to create new species through selective breeding O Obecause it showed that pigeons were adapting to their environments

mans play in artificial selection is to train organisms to breed more successfully determine who lives and who dies create the genetic variants which nature then selects Oselect the two species to breed together choose which organisms breed and which do not Question 7 1 point Listen

Why do islands tend to have unique species found no where else mutation rates are higher in small populations found on islands most islands have very little food so this increases competition which leads to new species islands species never have any predators and so can be different from mainland species islands are mostly isolated which reduces gene flow this ultimately can lead to new species forming over time Omost islands are extreme habitats that only certain types of organisms can

Some ways we are forcing the artificial selection of resistant HIV in patients by treating them with medications Why is this the case the medications cause the virus to mutate in order to survive Opatients eventually become resistant to the medicines so new ones must be used in the presence of the medications only the most resistant versions of the viruses survive O HIV is able to learn which medications are being used and avoid them O viruses initially affected by the medicines eventually become immune to them Question 6 1 point

In Darwin s phrase Descent with modification what does the descent part refer to O the idea that simple organisms can come from more complex ones O the idea that characteristics in organisms can evolve in response to need the idea that an organism s from can change over its lifetime O the idea that parent organisms pass traits onto their offspring the idea that the overall trend in evolution is to produce simpler organisms over O time
