- Compare and contrast the five patterns of natural selection that drive adaptation.arrow_forwardSexual selection (a) occurs mainly among animals that practice polyandry (b) occurs when animals are very similar in their ability to compete for mates (c) results in animals that have lower direct fitness (d) occurs mainly among animals that practice polygyny (e) is a form of natural selectionarrow_forwardYou are working on an undergraduate project, studying an insect species. A recent study showed that the pigmentation pattern used for camouflage is made by an enzyme K. However, it has been shown that, when compared to the Kk individuals, the KK homozygotes would have a higher chance of dying from pigment overdose before growing up, while the kk individuals can easily fall to predation before becoming adults. In fact, when compared to the Kk individuals, the estimated selection coefficients for KK and kk are 0.25 and 0.5, respectively. You are interested in what would happen to these alleles. At present, you have conducted a population survey and have 1000 larvae in your collection. Among them, 360 are KK, 480 Kkand 160 kk. 1)How many larvae would survive to adulthood a) 170 b) 414 c)583 d)750 e)830 2)Following up the previous question, what would be the KK genotype frequency at the adult? a) 0.090 b) 0.270 c) 0.325 d) 0.360 e) 0.529 3)Following up on the previous question,…arrow_forward
- Alternatively, selection may be performed during mating, where mating is done after a selection process of one of the sexes. The surviving individuals can pass on their (1) to the next generation. When these variations are sustained over a long time and the population changes so that it can no longer (2) with the parent population, a new species is said to have evolved.arrow_forwardIn your own words, how does Competition and selection support natural selection?

Group of answer choices choices made by plant and animal breeders possession of adaptations developed through use possession of inherited adaptations that maximize fitness lack of competition within the speciesarrow_forwardTopic: NATURAL SELECTION ACTIVITY Simulate a case of natural selection in a predator-prey situation. STEP 1 Gather your materials. You should have: . 1 fork, 1 knife, 1 spoon, and a length of tape (each will be used toestablish the distinct predator "feeding apparatuses")· 4 cups (each will serve as a distinct predator's "mouth")· 3 types of prey (such as popcorn, macaroni, and kidney beans)· 1 clearly delineated habitat (such as a table, a box, or a roped-off areaof ground). 1 timer that allows for counting by seconds (such as a watch or cellphone) STEP 2 Set up the predators. There is variation in predatory feeding apparatuses in this population. You will choose one of the available predator feeding apparatuses: fork, spoon, knife, or four fingers (with your thumb taped to your hand so that you cannot use it). You will also take a cup, which will represent the predator's mouth. Your goal will be to use your feeding apparatus to collect food and put it inyour mouth. STEP 3 Set up the…arrow_forward
- Define natural selection using the 5 points below to explain its role in understanding primate behavior. (1) there is variation among individuals; (2) some of that variation is heritable; (3) there is always competition between individuals for resources; (4) some variants outcompete other variants and leave more offspring; (5) to the extent that the parent's traits are heritable, then a larger portion of the next generation will reflect those traits.arrow_forwardtrue or flase Natural selection cannot occur without competition for resources.arrow_forwardSimmons and Scheepers in their article Winning by a Neck present evidence that the long neck of the giraffe is the result of: Select one: a.genetic drift b.inheritance of acquired characteristics c.intersexual selection d.intrasexual selection e.natural selectionarrow_forward
