- Background: In class we did a project about m and m’s and there ability to evolve and natural selection. (Yes I know they can’t actually evolve it was just used as a example in class) however I can’t figure out this question. Occasionally a mutant may occur and produce a candy that is misshapen or Pointier or flatter than the rest. Often this proves to be a weakness, but a rare mutation may confer extra M&M durability. Other mutations in M&Ms could occur ( like ones that result in a new color). A mutant un you population represents a new _________. What goes in the blankWhich of the following statements about the grandmother hypothesis is correct? This is a hypothesis used to explain why grandmothers tend to live longer than grandfathers. For this hypothesis to work, a grandmother will need to have an antagonistic pleiotropic mutation that extends her lifespan but also lessens her physical activities. Because grandmothers are older, so they tend to contribute less in a family. That is, grandmothers are usually a drain of resources for a family. The evolution of monthly menstrual cycle in human females is seen as an example explained by the grandmother hypothesis. None of the aboveEvolutionary biologists often say that evolution “selects for outcomes” not for the particular genetic changes that lead to that adaptive outcome. Given that perspective, is it surprising that different gene mutations might be involved in the evolution of the same trait (such as light skin or adaptation to living in high mountains)? Why or why not?
- The dog breed West Highland Terrier is a product of artificial selection. Give a brief description of the breed and its desired traits. What wild ancestor did it come from? Was it produced with selective breeding or genetic engineering (i.e. genetically modified)? What are the benefits of artificial selection in this case? Are there potential negative consequences?Discuss the significance of mutations and explain the role of the environment in the evolutionary process. (Hint: Consider Lenski's study and what is demonstrated. Do not re-tell Lenski’s study)ASAP
- Apply the VIDA table to the evolution of sickle cell disease to justify whether it is an instance of evolution by natural selection. Answer the following questions. Is there variation in this trait in the population? How exactly does it vary? Is the trait at least partly inherited? Is there selection for this trait in a particular environment? (What is the selective pressure? And how does a trait give an advantage or disadvantage in that environment?) What is the evidence that this trait makes organisms better adapted to their environment?Evolution is sometimes characterized as “survival of the fittest.” Is this wording consistent with an evolutionary biologist’s definitions of fitness and natural selection? Is it a good way to think about evolution or a poor one?Natural selection and artificial selection or selective breeding can both cause changes in animals and plants. The difference between the two is that natural selection happens naturally, but selective breeding only occurs when humans intervene. Changes in genetic traits have occurred over generations through both natural selection and selective breeding although the occur through different means. What characterizes only artificial selection? Choose all that apply. A) chickens that lay larger eggs are favored B) selection increases the chances of surviving C) selection make a species stronger and fit for survival D) selection favors the desired characters in the new organisms
- Which of the following is NOT a valid evolutionary explanation for why aging (or senescence) happens? Selected answer will be automatically saved. For keyboard navigation, press up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a b с d Alleles that reduce survival late in life, after most individuals have reproduced, will have a smaller effect on fitness than alleles that affect survival or reproduction early in life. Alleles that affect survival or reproduction early in life will have a smaller effect on fitness than alleles that reduce survival late in life. Alleles that increase reproductive rates early in life sometimes have trade-offs that reduce later survival. 2 Many deaths of younger individuals are due to causes unrelated to life history such as predation, reducing the effects that aging has on fitness.A/A and A/a individuals are equally fertile. If 0.1 percent of the population is a /a, what selection pressureexists against a /a if the A → a mutation rate is 10−5 ?Assume that the frequencies of the alleles are at theirequilibrium values.The flea beetle (P. nemorum) can survive on multiple types of plants, including radishes, eggplants and tomatoes. There is a dominant gene allele that allows P. nemorum to live on Bittercress (B. vulgaris). Radishes, eggplants and tomatoes all have some phenotypes that resist damage by P. nemorum and thus survive better. There are many different biological scenarios that can be modeled by PopG with the above information. Select alternative hypothesis that can be modeled by a one locus, two allele program like PopG. Select one or more: O A resistant-flea beetle allele in radishes will change its allele frequency in the presence of the flea beetle (P. nemorum). O Tomatoes and radishes will grow better without the flea beetle in the environment. O The Ballele allowing flea beetle (P. nemorum) growth on Bittercress, will become change its frequency in an environment with predominant Bittercress.
