If not all mutations that contribute to species evolution are passed down, what conditions must be met for a mutant trait to be inherited by the next generation?
In your group, consider the following statement: "Mutations are random, natural selection is not." What does that statement mean?
2) 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.

- Based on their anatomical and behavioral differences, biologists previously placed humans and chimpanzees in different families, but now DNA sequence data suggest that they are closely related and should be placed in the same family. What are some advantages of using DNA sequences to decide how to classify organisms? What might be some disadvantages?arrow_forwardPrezygotic isolating mechanisms prevent hybrid offspring from occurring between species because (a) the resulting offspring are not fertile and cannot reproduce. (b) the egg and sperm fuse and form a zygote, but it does not survive. (c) the egg and sperm do not ever meet or, if they do, cannot fuse to form a zygote. (d) all of the abovearrow_forwarda) Which characters might fall at location 1?b) Is there another way to map one of these traits on this tree?c) Which characters would fall at location 3?d) Can you come up with some traits that would fall at location 5 that are not included in the table?arrow_forward
- What is an Analogy? A) When an anatomic feature is shared among organisms and their descendants B) When two organisms appear the same C) When convergent evolution produces similar phenotypesarrow_forwardThe biological species concept is based on the assumption that species are reproductively isolated and do not share genes. And yet a number of organisms that are considered different species hybridize (mate and exchange genes). Hybridization between different species is more common in plants than in animals. Propose some possible reasons for this difference.arrow_forwardAccording to Darwin’s model of evolution, evolution can only occur if there is some variation present among the individual members of a population. Which statement best describes the source of this variation among members of a species? A) individuals will vary depending on geography and climate B) variation exists because not all genes will be expressed C) variation among individuals may arise as a result of mutations in the genetic code D) variation exists because different individuals will have different access to food and other resourcesarrow_forward
- Why is variation beneficial to the species but not necessarily for the individual?arrow_forwardWhen comparing evolutionary similarities between different genes within a gene family, it is usually more straightforward to compare genes by using the protein sequences of gene products rather than DNA sequences of the genes themselves. Explain why this is the case. (Write 5 points)arrow_forwardHow is it possible for siblings to share the same DNA but have different ancestral results?arrow_forward
