When using the comparative method (planned comparisons) to study why Violet-throated Starfrontlet (a kind of hummingbird) have an unusual hemoglobin protein, the most useful data would come from: O a. A closely related species of Starfrontlet that has an unusual hemoglobin protein. O b. A closely related species of Starfrontlet that has a normal hemoglobin protein. O c. A species of duck that has an unusual hemoglobin protein. B and C are more useful than A. A and C are more useful than B.

Recall from our classes on molecular evolution that some proteins evolve more rapidly than others. For example, the oxygen-carrying protein myoglobin evolves more quickly than the D1 protein of photosystem II. What explains this difference in the rate of protein evolution? A. Proteins like myoglobin have evolved more recently than proteins like D1 and thus have been forced to evolve more quickly. B. Changes to the sequence of some proteins can be tolerated as they don’t alter fitness; for other proteins, sequence changes are usually harmful. C. In constrained proteins like D1, evolution results primarily from nucleotide changes that alter the amino acid sequence of the protein. D. Protein evolution is dependent upon the rate of gene mutation and some genes have a higher rate of mutation than others.
The domestic dog belongs to the species Canis familiaris.

Using the picture below of the triangles and pentagon answer this question: 2.a) Identify potential Synapomorphies aka "Shared Derived Characters": To pick informative characters, look for things that are shared between two or more members of the ingroup. Give a DETAILED description of each of the characters you are going to use. This is important, as often two characters are very similar (see example on the next page). Remember, they should be binary (i.e., one of two states--black or white, two eyes or four eyes). They should not be subjective (i.e., long vs. short). You can always identify the ancestral state of your character by asking if the outgroup shows the character of interest. Answer this completely and correctly. Do not use previous answers/versions of answers.
Dichotomous Keys are used to identify an organism based on a choice between character states.

You are designing an experiment to test the survival rate of zebrafish in water at varying pH. You prepared 3 fish tanks: the first tank with neutral pH water, the second tank with higher pH water, and the third tank with lower pH water. In each tank, you place 3 young zebrafish of the same strain. Provide 3 ways to improve this experiment to make it more reliable. Be sure to include relevant terminology.

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A population of snails has a deleterious mutation (m) with a mutation rate of 0.01. Heterozygotes with this mutation will show the deleterious phenotype and have a selection coefficient of 0.4. If allele frequencies in the population are M = 0.99 and m = 0.01, will the number of mutant alleles in the next generation increase/decrease/remain the same?
