Why are fruit flies good subjects with which to observe the process of evolution through natural selection? Fruit flies are good subjects because they have very long generations, and scientists can control their development over long periods of time. Fruit flies are good subjects because they have short generations and scientists can control their development in the lab. Fruit flies change into different species of flies each generation, so they have more features to study. Fruit flies are K-strategists, and these are easier to study over short periods of time.
EVOLUTION LINK Write short paragraphs explaining each of the following statements: (a) Natural selection chooses from among the individuals in a population those most suited to current environmental conditions. It does not guarantee survival under future conditions. (b) Individuals do not evolve, but populations do. (c) The organisms that exist today do so because their ancestors had traits that allowed them and their offspring to thrive. (d) At the molecular level, evolution can take place by the replacement of one nucleotide by another. (e) Evolution is said to have occurred within a population when measurable genetic changes are detected.
Which of the following statements regarding evolution is FALSE? evolution is a relatively slow process Oall of these statements are TRUE evolution operates at a variable speed transitional forms appear during periods of rapid evolutionary change evolution operates over the course of multiple generations
Background: In class we did a project about m and m’s and there ability to evolve and natural selection. (Yes I know they can’t actually evolve it was just used as a example in class) however I can’t figure out this question. Occasionally a mutant may occur and produce a candy that is misshapen or Pointier or flatter than the rest. Often this proves to be a weakness, but a rare mutation may confer extra M&M durability. Other mutations in M&Ms could occur ( like ones that result in a new color). A mutant un you population represents a new _________. What goes in the blank
Which of the following is unlikely to contribute to natural selection Mutations of the somatic cells Mutations of the reproductive cells Natural disaster Infectious disease in the population
Many plants (and some animals) have defensive chemicals to protect themselves from predation. How did these compounds evolve? Choose All That Apply there was a mutation in an existing gene that resulted in a new enzyme function Oa different (or slightly altered) compound was made that was slightly toxic to other organisms plants/animals with the toxic compound were eaten less there was a mutation in a gene as a result of the plant/animal being eaten presence of the toxic compound reduced the fitness of the plant/animal the gene that codes for the enzyme that produces the toxic compound became more prevalent
Over long periods of time, many cave-dwelling organisms have lost their eyes. Tapeworms have lost their digestive systems. VWhales have lost their hind limbs. How can natural selection account for these losses? The ancestors of these organisms experienced harmful mutations that forced them to lose these structures. Natural selection accounts for these losses by the principle of use and disuse. OIf the function of these structures has diminished over long periods of time, each of these structures presented greater costs than benefits. O Natural selection cannot account for losses, but accounts only for new structures and functions.
Adaptations B Fossils Ancestral structures Homologous structures 2. The process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more lik to survive and reproduce than other members of the same species is called Natural selection Evolution C Competition Over production 3. Which of the following is the best example of an adaptation that helps organisms surviv their environment? A green coloring in lizards living on gray rocks B. a thick coat of fur on animals that live in the desert an extensive root system in desert plants
Would it be possible to bring extinct species back? In an article it was expressed how brinng extinct species back is still very futuristic, and we should aim at a smaller creature. Using a smaller sized species like the Christmas rat can set up scientists for potentially larger species. There is a major issue that comes up and that is incomplete genes. It makes it difficult to even compare modern day rat to the Christmas rats' genome because their genes are specialized and as more time passes, the harder it is to have a match. The article also talked about using modern day elephants to make a woolly elephant, meaning they don't want a perfect match. Rather, scientists want to make hybrids since it could be more realistic.
Naturalists who have accepted evolutionary theory now propose that: all of the items listed extinction occurs when the food supply becomes nutritionally unbalanced O populations of plants and animals in nature most often consist of individuals that are clones of each other populations of a species that become isolated from others by adapting to different environmental niches quickly become extinct those individuals whose variation gives them an advantage in staying alive long enough to reproduce are more likely to pass their traits on to the next generation
Evolution has two core principles: Natural selection and A Survival of the Fittest Descent with Modification Mutations D Genetics
Which of the following passages inaccurately describes the evolutionary process? Wings are a highly valuable structure for any species as they increase survivorship and dispersal capabilities. Insect wings are hypothesized to have evolved from dorsal extensions from their thorax that, over generations, were selected for as they helped to absorb solar energy, aiding in thermoregulation. AS mutations continued to accrue, muscles attached to those flaps, making them more motile, and uitimately setting the foundation for wingS. Mammals have three ossicles, or tiny bones, in their middle ear that aid the hearing: the malleus, the incus, and the stapes. The stapes is the oldest of the three bones, having evolved from the pharyngeal arch ll, called the hyoid arch. We know it's the oldest as it is found in tetrapods (the columella) and in some more recently evolved fish. The malleus and incus evolved from bones of their ancestral mammal-like reptiles jaws, the articular and the quadrate…
