(Practice Hint: Click or tap your finger on the text in the box to make your selection.) A student is researching why domestic cats often have white patches of fur. The student reads the paragraph shown and makes the following conclusion: "Domestic cats with white fur evolved from wildcats through artificial selection." Select the sentence in the paragraph that best supports the student's conclusion. During embryonic development, certain stem cells determine whether a kitten will be born with solid-color fur or with white patches of fur. Wildcats are the genetic ancestors of the domestic cat and have fur color that blends into their environment. Wildcats that eliminated pests and were less afraid of humans were useful for protecting harvested grains. These cats were cared for by humans and were selected to reproduce. O During embryonic development, certain stem cells determine whether a kitten will be born with solid-color fur or with white patches of fur. Wildcats are genetic…
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 blank
Identifying genes like HMGA2 is important, because it is evidence of natural selection. How does it demonstrate that natural selection occurred in Darwin’s finches? Scientists mutate and modify the gene in the lab to see how changes might occur to the organism. Scientists identify different forms of the gene in individuals from the same species and observe how it shows up as a trait. Scientists study similar genes that also impact the same traits to see how they work together and influence one another. Scientists observe the frequency of the different forms of the gene and how it changes in response to the environment. Need some help on this one.
What is artificial selection? Provide an example.
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)
What are the similarities and differences between natural selection and selective breeding?
MAKE A simple sketch and label characteristics Choose a human-related organism to study. As you consider strategies to enhance the social value of this organism, think of other desirable attributes that may be added to it. Imagination is a powerful tool, so let it go wild and imagine that you can transfer genes across other animals. For example: A gene from a firefly has been transferred into tobacco plants so that they may glow in the dark, as demonstrated by geneticists. Tobacco pests are less likely to attack at night because of this.
Revise the passage Darwin is best known for his Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics, first presented in 1801 (Darwin's first book dealing with natural selection was published in 1859):Based on these observations and inferences, Darwin concluded that these traits, called adaptations were the product of evolution by Acquired Traits, these traits made the members of the population who had them equally fit for survival. an organism could also change during their lifetime in order to adapt to its environment, those changes are passed on to its offspring. For example, darwin believed that if giraffes stretched their necks to reach food, Their offspring and later generations would inherit the resulting long necks.
Choose an organism that is a product of artificial selection. Give a brief description of your organism 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?
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?
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
Provide 3 reasons why natural selection allows only the better alleles to be passed onto the next generation. Please explain in details.
