Please help me with these questions and please answer all of
these questions to get a thumbs up.
1) The statement that "populations evolve - not
individuals" best describes
a. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.
b. the Hardy - Weinberg principle.
c. Lamarkism
d. genetic equilibrium.
2) The existence of ubiquitous
genes and proteins (performs the same function in
all organisms) strongly support the theory that all life evolved
from a common ancestor. With that in mind, what kind of genes
might be evolutionarily conserved and universally found in
bacteria, plants and animals?
a. genes that code for the synthesis of ribosomes.
b. genes that code for the enzymes of glucose metabolism
c. genes that code for the synthesis DNA and RNA polymerase
d. all of the above.
3) Convergent evolution may lead to development
of
a. analogous structures.
b. vestigial organs.
c. homologous structures.
d. disappearance of a structure from gene pool.
4) A particular allele is more like to disappear
from ______________ populations than from ___________________
populations.
a. large/small
b. diverse/similar
c. small/large
d. all of the above
5) The ultimate source of new alleles
is
a. mutation. b.
evolution. c. natural
selection. d. random mating.
6) Which one of the following criteria
does not describe a species?
a. they must reproduce sexually.
b. usually produces a fertile hybrid when mated outside species
lines.
c. they share a common gene pool.
d. they are reproductivey isolated from other species.
7) Much of the evolution of different body shapes
and forms occurs through mutations in:
a. genes that time the development of and maturation of young
animals.
b. genes that provide new/novel traits.
c. genes that time/regulate the development in the embryo.
d. genes that regulate metabolism of glucose, proteins and
fats.
8) Constant washing with antibiotic soap initially
kills most of the bacteria on your hands but eventually selects for
a population of bacteria that are antibiotic resistant. This
is an example of natural selection that is:
a. stabilizing b.
disruptive c.
homologous
d. directional
