Chapter 23, Problem 9TYU
SYNTHESI2E YOUR KNOWLEDGE
This kettle lake forracd 14,000 years ago when a glacier that covered the surrounding area melted. Initially devoid of animal life, over time the lake was colonized by Invertebrates and other animals. Hypothesize how mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow may have affected populations that colonized the lake.

Adaptive radiations can be a direct consequence of three of thefollowing four factors. Select the exception.(A) vacant ecological niches(B) genetic drift(C) colonization of an isolated region that contains suitablehabitat and few competitor species(D) evolutionary innovation
Adaptive radiations can be a direct consequence of three of the following four factors. Select the factor that is NOT a direct consequence of adaptive radiation.
Select one:
a. Genetic drift
b. Vacant ecological niches (niches are environment "space" where a particular organism has resources required to survive and reproduce)
c. New evolutionary innovations
d. Colonization of a new region that contains suitable habitat and few competitor species
Is the following statement consistent with the provided data?
Answer TRUE if the statement is consistent with the data.Answer FALSE if the statement is not consistent with the data.
1. The evolution of freeze tolerance involves some factors that were not shaped directly by natural selection.
2. Because of their freeze tolerance, wood frogs may colonise more of the remainder of the island of Newfoundland than the leopard frog.
3. The distribution of the wood frog and leopard frog supports character displacement as a plausible hypothesis for why they overlap.

- Applying your knowledge of genetics, natural selection and evolution, how is the positive response to global climate change possible? Is your answer supported by the information from the article “Can Evolution outrace Climate Change”? According to the authors of this article, what are the conditions necessary for an organism to evolve to accommodate climate change?arrow_forwardTheory of Evolution PART 1 Answer the following with one sentence each question. 1. What do you know about the history of your selected area within the last 25-50 years (e.g. urbanization, geological changes, structures built or destroyed, etc)? 2. Based on this history, what hypothesis can you make about its effect on the area's nature/environment/wildlife? 3. what evolutionary changes/events do you expect to find? 4. Why do you expect to see these changes/events? 5. How will you determine these evolutionary changes/events? (your answers should within your study's limits)arrow_forwardAdaptive radiations will most likely occur in areas where; The climate is the same year round The landscape is mostly homogenous and all of the habitats are similar to each other The landscape has very limited soil nutrients The landscape is highly variable and there are many different habitatsarrow_forward

Although Cuvier correctly asserted that a series of catastrophes led to these extinctions, he could not provide a testable explanation of the source of the new animals and plants that appeared after the extinction of older forms. How would you argue that modern evolutionary theory provides an explanation for the proliferation of new forms of life after mass extinctions?arrow_forward

Cannot account for algal diversity. 2. Fossils do not preserve well in the oceans. 3. Geological activity may interfere with species richness measurements. 4. It is not applicable to marine ecosystems because there was no glaciation in oceans. 5. Humans significantly modified marine environments.arrow_forwardHELParrow_forward
