16. There are bwo coot color varlations of a specles of rock pocket mice In the desert southwest In North Amerlca. One color varlant is brown, and the other Is black. The rock pocket mice live In habltats with tan, sandy soll that are Interrupted by ancient lava flows that resulted In dark rocks. Select all that apply. Predators will not differentiate between the two color variants because mice hide well beneath plants and rocks. O Light and dark colored mice will survive and reproduce at equal rates in the sandy habitats. Dark-colored mice will survive and reproduce at higher rates on the ancient lava flows. Light-colored mice on dark rocks are likely to be predated. Natural selection will favor brown mice on tan soil and black mice on the ancient lava flows.

Peacock Butterfly Predator Defenses The photographs below represent the experimental and control groups used in the peacock butterfly experiment discussed in Section 1.6. See if you can identify the experimental groups and match them up with the relevant control group(s). Hint: Identify which variable is being tested in each group (each variable has a control). A Wing spots painted out B Wing spots visible; wings silenced C Wing spots painted out; wings silenced D Wings painted but spots visible E Wings cut but not silenced F Wings painted, spots visible; wings cut, not silenced Peacock butterfly experiment A With wings folded, a peacock butterfly resembles a dead leaf, so it is appropriately camouflaged from predatory birds. B When a predatory bird approaches, a butterfly flicks its wings open and closed, revealing brilliant spots and producing hissing and clicking sounds. C Researchers tested whether the wing-flicking and sound-making behaviors of peacock butterflies affected predation by blue tits (a type of songbird). Experimental Treatment Number of Butterflies Eaten Wing spots concealed 5 of 10 (50%) Wings silenced 0 of 8 (0%) Wing spots painted out and wings silenced 8 of 10 (80%) No treatment 0 of 9 (0%) Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, Series B (2005) 272: 12031207. D The researchers painted out the spots of some butterflies, cut the soundmaking part of the wings on others, and did both to a third group; then exposed each butterfly to a hungry blue tit for 30 minutes. Results support only the hypothesis that peacock butterfly spots deter predatory birds. FIGURE 1.12 Testing the defensive value of two peacock butterfly behaviors.
Imagine that you are a conservation biologist responsible for the well-being of a bufello herd consistingof 100 mature males and 100 mature females. In this herd, there is no appreciable mutation, there isno migration in or out, and there is no selection. At the Fuzzy gene locus, there are two alleles, G and E.Homozygous G individuals have fuzzy fur, homozygous E individuals have rough fur, and heterozygoteshave shaggy fur. Suppose you survey the herd and find that there are 44 fuzzy individuals, 72 shaggyindividuals, and 84 rough individuals.a)What is the size of the population?b)Do the alleles have a simple dominance relationship? Describe.c)What are the frequencies of the two alleles?d)Is the population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?If not, how do you know, and what might be the cause?

@ 2 W S Rehpogs are mythical creatures. They are small and not very smart. Rehpogs live on the ground in a flat, warm habitat. Their fur texture and color ranges from thick purple fur to thin pink fur, depending on allele distribution. The dominant fur allele (R) codes for thick purple fur. The recessive allele (r) codes for thin pink fur. REMEMBER: a phenotype (fur color) is the physical expression of a genotype (two- letter code for the alleles present in that individual). Each individual has two alleles for fur color: X RR genotype is homozygous dominant = Thick purple fur phenotype Rr genotype is heterozygous = Thick purple fur (because of the presence of one dominant allele) rr genotype is homozygous recessive = Thin pink fur (because of the absence of a dominant allele) For the purposes of this experiment, Rehpogs mate once per year and produce two offspring each year. Rehpogs are monogamous, faithful and fertile. # 3 e d C C $ 4 r f V % 5 t g Oll 6 b y h & 7 O 8 n JL u i j O L m…
Introduction The Rock Pocket Mouse The rock pocket mouse, Chaetodipus intermedius, is a small, nocturnal animal found in the deserts of thesouthwestern United States. Most rock pocket mice have a sandy, light-colored coat that enables them to blendin with the light color of the desert rocks and sand on which they live. However, populations of primarily dark-colored rock pocket mice have been found living in areas where the ground is covered in a dark rock calledbasalt caused by geologic lava flows thousands of years ago. Scientists have collected data from a population ofprimarily dark-colored mice living in an area of basalt called the Pinacate lava flow in Arizona, as well as from anearby light-colored population. Researchers analyzed the data from these two populations in search of thegenetic mutation responsible for the dark coat color. Their analyses led to the discovery of a mutation in theMc1r gene that is involved in coat-color determination. The MC1R Gene Two pigments…
O O O Number of Attacks TOL TODe62227cd7 CHCASE Dashboard Strawberry poison-dart frogs have different skin colors within their population. The frogs can be categorized broadly using the colors green, blue, yellow, and red. A researcher performs an experiment using colored clay frogs to represent the different types of frogs to investigate which color morph is preyed upon the most by snakes. The researcher compares the number of snake attacks on each of the four different-colored clay frogs. 200- 150- 100- 50- 0+ green blue yellow red Color of Clay Frogs Which distribution of strawberry poison-dart frogs is likely to exist in nature? O There will-be more red-colored frogs in the population than green-colored frogs. O. There will be more yellow-colored frogs in the population than red-colored frogs. O There will be more green-colored frogs in the population than yellow-colored frogs. O There will be more blue-colored frogs in the population than yellow-colored frogs.

2) The year is 2050. The climate has continued to warm. Areas in northern Canada and Alaska are without snow or ice; the average annual temperature has risen and previously snow-covered areas are now shrub land and some temperate forests. What effect would such a climatic change have on the gene pool of the rabbits? All BUT ONE could apply. In northern Canada, a population of rabbits was predominantly white in color. The allele for white color is recessive (g) while the allele for gray color is dominant (G). Over the last several decades, the average annual temperature of this area has increased and the long-term deposits of ice and snow have become scarce. In this case, the frequency of a previously rare allele becomes more frequent in the population. Choose one.A) The allelic frequency has most likely shifted to 85% GG and 15% gg. B) The dominant allele in the gene pool would become G, the previously rare allele. C) The allele for white, g, would be scarce and perhaps nonexistent…
A wild population of pea plants has two alleles for flower color in its gene pool. A dominant allele (P) specifies purple flowers; a recessive allele (p) specifies white flowers. If the die frequency of allele P is 0.75, what is the expected frequency of allele p?
