Genetic drift
Ans : D changes in the gene pool of small population can cause genetic drift because small population have less variation seen and they remain stable following Hardy Weinberg equilibrium
Gills in fish and humans
Ans: C
Fish embryo have gills for respiration and human embryo have gills which later form the pharynx and neck region.
Therefore it's homology
Similar structure different function.
Hominids resemble
Ans: apes
They are very closely related to apes and are in the family of primates
Homologous
Ans : D
Homology means similarly between different animals because they have a common ancestor
Therefore cat and dog having similar structure have different function
Cats use legs for climbing
Dogs use legs for running
Two species are able to reproduce because
ANS: the species are found in different habitats
Depending upon the climate, temperature they are found at different geographic areas
Stone age man was
ANS : Homo erectus

1. A population of monkeys on an island in the Amazon river is preyed upon by margays (a type of small cat). Within this population the largest monkeys are too big for the margays to catch and the smallest monkeys are too agile for the margays to catch. Thus the mid-size monkeys have the lowest fitness. Over time this population could potentially split into two populations and two separate species of large and small monkeys. What type of speciation would occur...
24. Parapatric speciation would be expected to occur most often: a. in the same homeland b. near a common border between two populations c. within a group of interbreeding populations d. across obvious geographical barriers e. by divergence from a common interbreeding population 25. Match the evolution concepts: _______ gene flow a. can lead to interdependent species _______ natural selection b. changes in a population's allele frequencies due to chance alone _______ mutation c. alleles enter or leave a population _______ genetic drift d. evolutionary history _______ adaptive radiation e. occurs in different patterns _______ coevolution...
5. Fur colour in mice is a single gene trait controled by two alleles. In a population of 75 mice, 21 are homozygous dominant, 37 are heterozygous dominant, and 17 are homozygous recessive. What is the frequency of the dominant allele in the population? Show all work and record your answer as a value between O and 1 rounded to two decimal places 6. The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from one generation to the...
Which of the following is matched INCORRECTLY? Genetic polymorphism Many different alleles for a certain trait that exist within a population Isotypes Different proteins that are produced by the different genes from a gene family Alleles The different variants of a gene Polymorphic There are many different alleles for one gene within a population Monomorphic There is only one allele for a gene within a population MHC class I isotypes: HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-E, HLA-F, and HLA-G MHC class II...
A gene has four alleles, A1, A2, A3, and A4. The alleles occur in a population at the following frequencies: A1=0.2, A2=0.1, A3=0.4, A4=0.3. Compute the following: a) Probability that a single allele chosen at random is either A1 or A4 b) Probability than an individual as two A1 alleles c) Probability that an individual has one A1 and one A3 allele d) Probability that an individual is NOT A1A1 e) Probability that if we drew two individuals at random,...
1. Fixation of Dominant Alleles Start with a population that has a gene with two alleles (A and a) with classical Mendelian dominance that are at equal frequency (p0.5. q 0.5). Assume this first generation is at hardy Weinberg equilibrium. Calculate the genotype frequencies AA- a. Aa b. Now assume some environmental change that makes the recessive phenotype completely unfit (fitness- 0). Calculate the allele frequencies and genotype frequencies in the second generation. (Hint: Your calculations might be easier if...
2) A location on a specific chromosome that has appreciable variation in a population is called __________________________. Select one: A) a chromosomal arm. B) an inherited disease. C) a DNA polymorphism. D) phenotypic variation. E) a homologue. 3) In the DNA barcoding of animals, a portion of the cytochrome oxidase 1 gene (cox-1) is used. Why? Select one: A) The gene sequence varies little among members of a species, but varies more among different species. B) The cox-1 gene encodes...
14. Given below are the genotypic frequencies for a single gene with two alleles for three different populations: Population 1 AA 0.25 Aa 0.50 aa 0.25 Population 2 0.35 0.56 0.09 Population 3 0.49 0.42 0.09 Which of the following is NOT a correct statement about these three populations? A) Only two of the populations are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium B) Population 1 is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; the frequency of allele A is 0.5 C) Population 2 is not in Hardy-Weinberg...
A Texan population of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) shows an insertion/deletion polymorphism locus with alleles + and –. Eggs of different genotypes have the following probabilities of surviving to adulthood: Genotype Viability + / + 60% + / – 70% – / – 50% Q.4) What will be the frequency of +/– heterozygotes in the adult survivors of the eggs described in the previous question? a. 0.41 b. 0.43 c. 0.45 d. 0.47 e. 0.49 f. 0.51 g. 0.53 h....
