Homework Answers
1. Match the term with their defination.
Genic selection - A form of selection in which
the single gene is the unit of selection, such as that the outcome
is determined by fitness values assigned to different
alleles.
Group selection - the different rates of
origination or extinction of whole populations on the basis of
difference among them in one or more characteristics. may also
refer to the difference among populations in their contribution of
genes to the combined gene pool
Individual selection - a form of natural selection
consisting of nonrandom differences in fitness among different
phenotypes within the population.
level of selection - the several kinds of
reproducing biological entities ( genes, organisms, species ) that
can vary in fitness, resulting in potential selection among
them.
Meiotic drive - a form of segregation distortion
that occurs during meiosis and causes an allele to have greater
than 50% probability of being transmitted to a gamates.
Species selection - A form of group selection in
which different characteristics increased ( by speciation) or
decrease ( by extinction) in number at different rates because of a
difference in their characteristics.

In the case of directional selection, if the advantageous allele (b) is recessive and a less advantageous allele (B) is dominant: A. b will be lost in the population because the dominant allele will increase in frequency by natural selection B. b will increase in frequency at the same speed as if it was a dominant advantageous allele, because what matters is the coefficient of selection and not if the allele is dominant or recessive C. b will increase in...

According to Robert Trivers, why are men generally larger and more physically aggressive than women? Because women are more reproductively “valuable” than men, hence competition for mates is fiercer among men Because men invest more heavily in reproduction than women Because men secrete more testosterone Trivers’ theory does not speculate on the origin of the sex difference in size and physical aggression Although some women are interested in casual sex (short-term mating), research has suggested that there are differences in...

1a) Suppose a population of guppies was infected with a
parasite. In that population a mutation results in a parasite
resistant genotype that spreads through the population through
natural selection. A subsequent mutation in the parasite results in
a genotype that is unaffected by the newly evolved resistant guppy
genotype. What is the name of the hypothesis that explains this
host parasite “arms race”.?

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
