Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.

From a biological viewpoint, speculate as to why many traits seemto fit a normal distribution. Students with a strong background inmath and statistics may want to explain how a normal distributionis generated, and what it means. Can you think of biological examplesthat do not fit a normal distribution?
In natural selection, what must be TRUE of traits that are passed down through generations? * The trait must be one that does not give an advantage to any particular individuals. The trait must be one that members of the species have chosen to reproduce. no answer The trait must be one that gives an advantage to certain individuals. The trait must be one that members of the species like and enjoy. A fossil of winged dinosaur was discovered. Upon closer inspection, scientist find out that the impressions around the limbs and tails resemble a structure of feathers. What does this discovery suggest? * Dinosaurs were flying reptiles. Modern reptiles lose their feathers. Birds evolved from dinosaurs. no answer All winged animals share common ancestry.
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
Which statement about the relationship between phenotypic and genetic attributes is correct? O a Usually phenotypically similar organisms are not genetically similar. O b Organisms with very similar morphology also have very similar genes. Genetically similar organisms can appear profoundly different morphologically. O d Analogous qualities among two species are similar due to shared ancestry.
Which of the following is correct regarding the process ofevolutionary change?a. an adapted individual is the one that survives and passes on itsgenes to offspring.b. changes in phenotype are passed on by way of the genotype tothe next generation.c. organisms are able to bring about a change in their phenotype.d. evolution is striving toward particular traits.e. All of these are correct.
Lamarck’s proposed mechanism for the inheritance of acquired traits was correct. Group of answer choices: True False
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829), a French scientist who believed in evolution, is known for Lamarckism, or inheritance through acquired characteristics. He argued that environmental influences could put pressure on animals, making them use some characteristics more and some less, and that the changes acquired by the parents would be passed to the next generations. A common example of this theory is that giraffes could actually grow longer necks by straining to get to higher and higher branches for food, and that the offspring of these longer- necked giraffes would have longer necks at birth. We will get to epigenetics later in the class, and realize that Lamarck wasn't all wrong. But he was mistaken about giraffes! Your responses will help you understand why... (France page 7) a. Is this argument at the level of a hypothesis, or is it a theory? Why? b. How would you set up an experiment to test Lamarck's beliefs? c. What would be your dependent variable? d.

In order for a trait to evolve via natural selection, which of the following must be true regarding the trait? (this is a multiple answer question - so select all correct) Group of answer choices There must be variation in the trait. The trait must make the organism survive longer than organisms with different traits. The trait must confer a reproductive advantage on the bearer of the trait. The trait must be heritable. The trait does not necessarily need to be passed down to offspring.

Goswami disagrees with the Darwinian concept of canalized behavior. What are his main criticisms of the inheritance of acquired characteristics? (Select all that apply) Choose at least one answer. L a. The Darwinian evolutionary process is very fast and can manifest in a few generations. b. The availability of prolonged environmental stress to produce canalization over an entire species population is unlikely. c. There is no evidence that learned behavior is passed down to descendants.
With regard to biological evolution, which of the following statements is incorrect? Explain why.A. During its lifetime, an animal evolves to become better adaptedto its environment.B. The process of biological evolution has produced species thatare better adapted to their environments.C. When an animal is better adapted to its environment, the process of natural selection makes it more likely that the animalwill reproduce.
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck introduced a theory about inheritance in the early 1800s. Which of the following accurately describes his Theory of Acquired Characteristics? a. Offspring traits are the result of the blending of traits from the parents. b. Offspring traits are the result of parent individuals modifying their traits due to use or non-use. c. Traits are acquired from genes, and arise only from the mother not from the father. d. Traits are acquired from grandparents and skip the parent generation altogether
