In the United States, the rare red wolf (Canis lupus) has been known to hybridize with coyotes (Canis latrans), which are much more numerous. Although red wolves and coyotes differ in terms of morphology, DNA, and behavior, genetic evidence suggests that living red wolf individuals are actually hybrids. Red wolves are designated as an endangered species and hence receive legal protection under the Endangered Species Act. Some people think that their endangered status should be withdrawn because the remaining red wolves are hybrids, not members of a “pure” species. Do you agree? Why or why not?

evolutionary trade of is when a trait is at an advantage in a context
a) explain how the evolution of the different shades of color is an example
b) what evidence can you use to support this idea
natural selection, why is maintaining genetic variation in populations such an important part of species being able to live through environmental changes? Include an example
Some worms eat at night (meaning they are nocturnal) and some worms eat during the day (meaning they are diurnal.) Most birds eat only during the day, so they are only eating diurnal worms, due to the fact that the nocturnal worms are burrowing during this time. Each spring when the worms reproduce about 500 offspring are born but only 100 of them live long enough to reproduce themselves. Explain how natural selection will occur and include the 4 principals of natural selection.

- A species is a group of individual organisms that interbreed and produce fertile, viable offspring. According to this definition, one species is distinguished from another when, in nature, it is not possible for matings between individuals from each species to produce fertile offspring. Evolution is an important mechanism in the formation of new species. The evolution of a new species requires several components including all, BUT A) Evolution of a new species requires a long time. B) Evolution of a new species requires the need for a genetic change. C) Evolution of a new species requires a separation that prevents interbreeding. D) Evolution of a new species requires mutations that produce new genetic traits. not graded use photoarrow_forwardOne problem with this line of criticism is that it is difficult to distinguish good forms of manipulating nature from unacceptable ones. Some critics of GMOs argue that we ought to leave species as we find them, and that it is the cross-species transfers of genetic material involved in some GMOs that make them unacceptable. One problem with this objection is that similar transfers have occurred in nature—from basic plant genetics to the long-term patterns of evolution.

- How might an evolutionary biologist explain why a species of salamander becomes blind after colonizing a cave? Group of answer choices Members of the ancestral population that colonized the cave differed in their ability to see. If maintaining the ability to see in the cave was a waste of energy, blind salamanders might actually have more offspring than those who could see. It is possible that in the cave there is a source of pollution that increases the mutation rate for a gene that makes salamanders blind. Over time, due to exposure to this chemical, the membersof the population lose their sight. There is no way to explain this in terms of natural selection. The members of this salamander species no longer needed to use their eyes. Over time, due to lack of use, they lost the ability to see.arrow_forwardApplied Natural Selection: You are studying a population of a newly-discovered species of mammal called grendels. They live here in the woods of CT, and the population has a wide range of thicknesses to their fur coats. Most have a moderately thick coat year-round, including “Bob” and “Dave” and “Smurfette” and “Cindy,” four individuals that you are tracking. But a few such as “Stan” have noticeably thinner coats, and there is even one that you call “Biff” that looks almost naked and has very little body hair at all (a metrosexual grendel, if you will). On the other hand, there are also a few with thicker-than-average coats such as “Penny” and “Silvia,” and one that you have nicknamed “Cousin It” because you can’t even see his eyes through all his lustrous hair. (a) Using what you know about the different types of Selection, describe what you might expect of this population in terms of fur thickness over the next 1000 years if the climate stays the same as it has been up until…arrow_forwardIn your own words, describe why the orange beetles survived in relationship to what you have learned about natural selection.arrow_forward

- Species Concepts Review The Baltimore Orioles and Black-backed Orioles species complex has conflicting evidence in support of each being their own species and in support of them being the same species. Review the evidence below for each hypothesis, then, using that evidence, explain whether they should be classified as distinct or the same species based on each species concept. Then, using the overall evidence, decide whether to classify them as the same or different species. Genetic Information (In the Species Concepts lab, we used a "controversial" 10% cutoff. A more realistic cutoff might be 1%. Let's use a 1% cutoff for this activity.) Sequence Differences Baltimore Oriole vs Black- backed Oriole Cytochrome b 0.26% Control region 0.74% 2A. Based on the genetic information above, should the Baltimore Oriole and Black-backed Oriole be classified as one species or two species?arrow_forwardThe next four problems are part of a series. For these problems, see your book for a detailed explanation of epistasis in labs, and also for the x? table. You have crossed two black labs that are both BbEe genotypes, and the resulting litter consists of 15 black, 4 brown, and 6 yellow labs. You conduct a x² test of the null hypothesis that the offspring match the expected ratios for recessive epistasis, and any differences are due to chance. The x value you calculate is 0.190. Part I: How many yellow labs do you expect? Answer to one decimal place (e.g., 0.8). 6.3 Part II: What are your degrees of freedom? Your answer should be a round number (e.g., 9). 2 Part II: Assuming a p-value cut-off of 0.05, what is the critical value that you will use to evaluate your hypothesis?
