- Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin argued that evolution by means of natural selection involves all of the following steps except: a. variation is present in all species b. species can produce more offspring than the environment can sustain c. all individuals within a species have equal chances to improve their fitness d. those individuals that are more fit will survive and reproduce in the greatest numbers e. over time, the species will evolve as the more fit individuals replace the less fit individualsarrow_forwardWhat is true about evolution by natural selection? a. It is a largely random process. b. Homology shows that convergence is a useful tool for deducing adaptive function. c. Mothers are invariably members of the same species as their offspring, so selection can never create new species. d. Harmful recessive genes are eliminated more rapidly than harmful dominant genes. e. None of the above is true.arrow_forwardWhich 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.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is not a component of evolution bynatural selection?a. Variation exists within a population.b. Organisms compete for resources.c. Individuals have different reproductive success.d. Organisms adapt due to environmental changes.e. Species are fixed.arrow_forwardWhich of the following most accurately describes mutations? a. They typically have immediate and impactful evolutionary effects on populations. b. They are required for all populations to evolve. c. They are always deleterious. d. They occur so infrequently that most populations to harbor very little variation.arrow_forwardIn nature, when a lone male lion encounters a pride (a group of lions with a male leader), the two males will often fight to become head of the pride. It has been documented that if the foreign lion wins the battle, he will usually kill the offspring of the weaker lion’s pride. This natural selection process best describes; Select one: a. Fitness within species b. Bottleneck effect c. Macroevolution d. Microevolution e. Speciationarrow_forward
- The most accurate definition of biological evolution from the following is... a. extinction and speciation b. the change in allele frequencies over time c. survival of the fittest d. the origin of new speciesarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true? O A. Chance and random events only influence the evolutionary process in small populations. O B. Chance and random events can influence the evolutionary process in all populations, but especially in small ones. O C. Chance and random events play no role in the evolutionary process. O D. Chance and random events influence the evolutionary process in all populations in the form of natural selection. SUBMITarrow_forwardResearchers have found fossils of Eocene horse species in Colorado. Deeper deposits contain smaller species, and more recent deposits contain larger species. How does this observation support the theory of evolution? A. It provides evidence that species change over time. B. It does not support the theory of evolution. C. It shows that all species are related to each other. D. It proves that environments have changed over time. E. It suggests that species are unchanging and of recent origin.arrow_forward
- Check all of the following that are true: a. Mutation alone is a weak force of evolution. b. Only small populations evolve by genetic drift. c. Selection is always the strongest force of evolution a population can experience. d. Overdominance occurs when there is disruptive selection favoring the homozygotes. e. It is easier to purge a population of dominant deleterious alleles compared to recessive deleterious alleles. f. Populations may change a lot or a little when migration occurs depending on how different the populations are. g. Nonrandom mating in the form of inbreeding is not considered a true evolutionary force. h. Drift and migration can offset or counterbalance the effects of selection in a population.arrow_forwardWhich of the following most likely demonstrates that classification is the basis of evolutionary relatedness? A. Organisms that share similar characteristics are impliedly understood to have common ancestors, thus having an evolutionary relationship. B. Classification is to organize organisms into groups based on their differences and similarities and evolutionary history, so as evolution changes, classification will also change C. Classification based on evolutionary relatedness always infer that all organisms that evolved similarly shares the same history. D.
