Practice Exam III 14. Medea transposable elements and meiotic drive at the mouse T-locus violate the usual cooperation among genes in genomes. This results from what sort of selection? a) Selection on a level above the individual b) Selection on extended phenotypes c) Sexual selection d) Selection on a level below the individual e) Selection at the individual level 19. Selection at which of the following levels is responsible for most of the traits of organism? a) Population b) Species c) Individual d) Gene e) Clade 25. What is the indirect component of inclusive fitness? a) Individual survival only b) Survival and reproduction of genes of relatives c) Survival and reproduction of an individual d) Individual reproduction only e) Survival and reproduction of an unrelated social group 30. The slime mold Dictyostelium
has separate unrelated cells that glom together to form a stalk and reproductive fruiting body, but only a few of the individuals will get to reproduce. This seems to violate the rule that organisms only evolve traits that benefit themselves. What is the best explanation for this situation? a) Some cells are coercing others into being nonreproductive b) In some species, natural selection does not govern reproduction c) Selection is operating below the level of the individual d) In some species, a gamble is an individual’s only hope to reproduce at all e) Group selection violates the rules of individual selection 34. Which of the following is an example of an extended phenotype? a) hair b) a painting c) feeding behavior d) symbiotic intestinal bacteria e) a clone
38.
Suppose one individual performs a helpful behavior that results in a fitness benefit of 0.2 to a full sibling (r= 0.5). According to Hamilton's Rule, what fitness cost can the helper bear in order for this cooperative behavior to spread by kin selection? a) Cannot be determined from the information given b) Greater than 0.2/ 0.5 c) Greater than 0.5* 0.2 d) Less than 0.2/ 0.5 e) Less than 0.5* 0.2 1.

List, in order from broad (ancient) to narrow (recent), all of the levels of the classic Linnean hierarchy. Short answer question
5. Which of the following is an example of parapatric speciation? a) Wrasses on either side of the Isthmus of Panama are distinct species since the land mass prevented them from interbreeding over the last 3 million years. b)
Several species of fish have diverged from a single one, in a lake where all species breed on the bottom, but each species feeds in a distinct location; perhaps mating decisions are based on food or feeding behavior. c) Geographic variation in a flightless Australian grasshopper species has resulted in speciation because of limited gene flow between distant areas of its range. d) Chipmunks on either side of the Grand Canyon are unable to mate with each other because of divergence since the canyon formed 6 million years ago. e) Several populations of the rat snake exist in the United States; they are diverse across geography, but can breed with each other and there is significant gene flow between populations 6. What was true of the relationship between cattle and inheritance in Bantu-speaking populations in Africa? a) Cattle ownership led to the loss of matriliny b) Cattle were consulted as to the sex that should inherit in each family c) There was no relationship d) Cattle ownership led to the loss of patriliny e) Cattle ownership made inheritance irrelevant 7.

In the early Drosophila embryo, the even-skipped (eve) gene is expressed in a striped
pattern. eve stripe #2 expression is controlled by a regulatory DNA sequence that
includes binding sites for the regulatory proteins Hunchback and Kruppel. The boxed
figure at left above shows the expression patterns, in the early embryo, of a reporter
gene joined to the eve stripe 2 regulatory sequence, and of the Hunchback and
Kruppel proteins. Which of the figures at right best predicts the expression pattern
of the eve stripe2 reporter (blue) in a mutant embryo lacking the Kruppel protein?

c)
If you have two mutant proteins that show a pseudo-reversion phonotype (second site
suppressor) there is a strong possibility that the two proteins interact. Explain in your
