a) macroevolution
b) microevolution
c) community ecology
d) ecological species concept

A yes
B no
C not enough information to calculate this
According to the Hardy-Weinberg law of equilibrium:
Question 1 options:
A)
In absence of mutation and natural selection, the frequencies of the genotypes will remain stable because no evolutionary change takes place.
B)
In absence of gene flow, the frequencies of the genotypes will remain stable because no evolutionary change takes place.
C)
In absence of genetic drift, the frequencies of the genotypes will remain stable because no evolutionary change takes place.
D)
All of the above.
E)
None of the above.
21)
ALL BUT ONE of the statements below helps to describe gene flow. That is
A)
B)
Without genetic variation, some of the basic mechanisms of evolutionary change cannot operate.
There are three primary sources of genetic variation:
1. Mutations
II. Gene flow
III. Sexual reproduction
D)
It depends on a chance event that changes the gene pool.
It can reduce the genetic differentiation between the two groups.
It involves the movement of alleles from one population to another.
It includes migration or the movement of individuals between populations.
Some mutations always occur from generation to generation. But most mutations do not persist over time in the gene
pool. Which mutation is MOST likely to become established and persist in a species?

- Which of the following statements about sympatric speciation is correct? It is a process through which two populations can diverge and develop reproductive isolation while in two different geographic area. It is the most common mechanism for populations to form independent species. Postzygotic isolation is the main form of reproductive isolation for the sympatric speciation process. Genetic isolation through large scale chromosomal mutations, such as chromosome inversion or polyploidy, are more likely contributing to sympatric speciation. None of the abovearrow_forwardTry to outline a scenario explaining the evolution of the three species shown in panel g. Use migration, mutation, genetic drift, selection, reproductive isolation, gene flow, extinction, and many generations in your scenario. Based on your scenario, what are the components that are necessary in a population in order for it to split or diverge into two new daughter species from a single ancestor (the parent species)?arrow_forwardhttps://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/evolution/barriers/arrow_forward

- Answer the following biology questions on evolutionarrow_forwardUse each of the following species concepts to write a claim about whether the dark and light fur mice are, in fact, different species. Your claim should demonstrate your understanding of that particular species concept. Mice with light coat colors are found in populations scattered across the southeastern US. Researchers believe the light coat color emerged in a single population. How would a biologist explain the evolution of the light coat color in populations across the southeastern US? Briefly explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardIn the experiment of stochastic events, what observations can you make regarding the gene pool and gene frequency of the founding individuals? What observations can you make about the genetic variation between the parent and founding populations?

- Anole lizards can be found on many islands in the Caribbean that share similar environmental habitats. Anoles on the different islands share similar ecological morphotypes because of their similar habitats. Anoles on each island have evolved from a common ancestor into a variety of different species that occupy different ecological niches as shown below. Which of the following statements explains how the morphotypes found on one island, and shown in the figure, occurred as a result of speciation? A - Convergent evolution occurred, causing new species to evolve based on diverse new habitats. B - Phenotypic diversification occurred as a result of divergent evolution as the anoles adapted to new habitats. C - Natural selection occurred, so individual anoles with certain phenotypes can survive and reproduce only in a specific ecological niche. D - Reproductive isolation occurred as a result of habitat isolation since the anoles are unable to move into different ecological niches to breed.arrow_forwardConsider the following example. In Alaska, different individuals of foxes can be brown, white, grey or black. In 2018, the population was 25% brown fur, 25% white fur, 25% grey fur and 25% black fur. The polar vortex in 2019 killed many of the foxes. When scientists measured the frequencies of foxes in 2023, they found that 50% were brown, 25% were white and 25% were black. Which force of evolution has occurred? A. Founder Effect B. Gene Flow C. Population Bottleneck D. Mutationarrow_forwardWhich of the following examples refers to microevolution? A.In a population of mice, individuals with dark fur are cryptic against the dark soil in their habitat and have higher fitness. Many generations later, the proportion of the population with the allele for dark fur has increased B. Two populations of the same species are reproductively isolated (no allels/individual , moving between the populations) Over many generations they become so different that they diverge into separate species C.In a population of lizards, a random event causes one allele to be lost from the population. So, future generations have a lower proportion (zero) of that alele.arrow_forward
