- What is meant by “sexual selection”? a. Having an XX or XY chromosome pattern determines whether one develops as a female or a male. b. Hormones during a sensitive period produce longlasting effects on anatomy and behavior. c. Some people choose to switch from one gender identity to another. d. Evolution favors characteristics that make an individual more appealing to the opposite sex.Which of the following is the best description of sexual selection? a. Sexual selection is the differential reproductive success due to variation in acquiring immunity from mates. b. Sexual selection is the differential reproductive success due to variation in survival from social selection. c. Sexual selection is the differential reproductive success due to variation in acquiring mates or mating success. d. Sexual selection is the differential survival success due to variation in avoiding mates or mating success.You are studying a genetically modified mouse that produces electric blue fur, which is not a fur color observed in nature. You notice that females prefer males that have the blue fur when given a choice test for mates. This result supports which of the following models of sexual selection? a. Sexual selection for indirect benefits b. Sexual selection for direct benefits c. Sexual selection for arbitrary traits d. None of the above
- Of the following, which is the least plausible hypothesis for why natural selection has not eliminated genes for male homosexuality? a. Perhaps the relatives of a homosexual male have more than an average number of children. b. Homosexual people might spread their genes by helping their brothers and sisters rear their children. c. Maybe there is no gene for homosexuality. Instead, an environmental event produces an epigenetic effect that can be transmitted from one generation to the next. d. Some homosexual men have children.Which aspect(s) of natural selection is(are) illustrated by the figure below? Check ALL answers that apply. A. Variation among individuals must be genetically transmissible to the next generation. B. Variation must exist in a population. C. Variation among individuals leads to differences in lifetime reproductive success. D. More individuals are produced each generation than the environment can support, resulting in competition for survival.Which of the following situations will lead to natural selection? a. The seeds of two plants land near each other and one grows larger than the other. b. Two types of fish eat the same kind of food, and one is better able to gather food than the other. c. Male lions compete for the right to mate with females, with only one possible winner. d. all of the above
- The good genes hypothesis is a theory that explains what? a. why more fit individuals are more likely to have more offspring b. why alleles that confer beneficial traits or behaviors are selected for by natural selection c. why some deleterious mutations are maintained in the population d. why individuals of one sex develop impressive ornamental traitsWhich of the following best explains the role mutations play in natural selection?A. Most mutations are negative and result in the extinction of the entire speciesB. Mutations may appear for one or two generations, but they usually disappear quickly.C. If the environment changes, an existing organism develops a mutation that will help them to survive.D. Some mutations give individuals an advantage in their environment, allowing them to survive and reproduce.D is my answer is it correct?What is the difference between evolution, natural selection, and artificial selection? A. Evolution is a genetic change in a population over time which can occur through natural selection. Artificial selection is the differential reproduction of individuals in a population to promote the characteristics chosen by the breeder. B. Natural selection is the change of allele frequencies in a population over time. Evolution leads to differential survival and reproduction of individuals. Artificial selection has produced domesticated animals and plants. C. Evolution is a mechanism of artificial selection. Natural selection is a form of artificial selection in which nature selects the characteristics that are most beneficial to a species. D. Artificial selection is a mechanism of evolution and is the main process of domesticating animals and plants for human use. Natural selection is the same as evolution.
- What is the difference between artificial selection (e.g., greyhounds that are bred for speed) and natural selection? a. In artificial selection, the genetic variation introduced into the population is limited, but in natural selection, it is not b. In artificial selection, the environment is the selective force, while in natural selection, humans are the selective force c. In natural selection, the environment is the selective force, while in artificial selection, humans are the selective force d. Unlike other species, dogs are not subject to natural selection e. Both A & CWhich statement is correct, based on current evolutionary theory? a. Selection will favor alleles only if they are good for the species. b. Selection will favor alleles only if, on average, they increase the reproductive success of individuals who have them. c. In small populations genetic drift can be more effective than natural selection in building adaptations. d. Selection sometimes favors alleles that systematically lower the reproductive success of the individuals who have them. e. Two of the above are correct.What is Natural Selection? A. Inherited traits change over time. B. Organisms develop traits that allow them to survive and reproduce. C. Traits that offer and advantage/benefit will be passed on to offspring.
