The characteristics of organisms are inherited or passed from parent to offspring. c. Offspring vary among each other about their characteristics, and those variations are inherited d.More offspring are produced than can survive 2.

1) Select the option that is a scientific hypothesis and is testable and false able?(Choose all that apply). A) Heliocentrism, the hypothesis that the Earth orbits the Sun. B) Evolution by Natural Selection. C) Geocentrism, the hypothesis that the Sun circles the Earth. D) Intelligent Design, the statement that a supernatural designer shapes life. E) The theory of Kin Selection, that individuals treat kin preferentially relative to non-kin. 2) Cows were domesticated from wolves approximately 20,000 years ago, likely in Europe . Mutation rates in cows are likely less than 0.005 mutations per genome per cell per generation. At present, over 300 cow breeds, distinct in behavior and appearance, are recognized. The mutation rates are clearly not high enough to account the evolution of all this biological distinctiveness. What accounts for all this variation? Choose all that apply. A) Rare, recessive alleles may have been “hidden” in heterozygotes. B) The characteristics upon which breeds…
1.) Suppose that the frequency of a recessive allele is found to be 0.30. When the same population is sampled five years later, the frequency of the recessive allele is found to be 0.20. Do these findings indicate that the Hardy-Weinberg principle is false? Justify your response. 2.) Cystic fibrosis is an inherited recessive disorder that causes especially thick mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive tract. The mucus makes it difficult to clear micro-organisms from the airways, so people with cystic fibrosis are prone to dangerous respiratory infections. Among Caucasians, about one in every 3000 newborns is affected by this condition. Determine the frequency of the cystic fibrosis allele among Caucasians. What proportion of this population would you expect to be heterozygous carriers of the cystic fibrosis allele? Express your answers as decimals.
2) The Hardy-Weinberg principle tells us what to expect when a sexually reproducing population is a.not evolving b.increasing in size c.changing in size d.evolving e.not evolving under natural selection specifically
4. Why is the Hardy Weinberg law of equilibrium important to a study of evolutionary processes? a. it tells us how heavy are mammals and if they may have lived in cold enviroments in the past. b. It shows us to measure change in gene frequency in population to see if selection pressures are affecting gene expression. c.It allows us to study how eplgenetics affects specific traits d. It allow us to measure the age of fossils and date the origin of a species
6. Which of the following statements does NOT describe Darwin's theory of natural selection A. Members of a population will complete B. Members of population have heritable variations. C. Populations tend to reproduce in small numbers. D. Sa members of a population have adaptive traits.
2. What is the role of variation in evolution – if heterozygosity is reduced, what happens to the potential for evolution? The phenotype (and genotype) of a population is due to a "mosaic" of random and directed processes. Some of these have to do with history; some are related to adaptation, etc. As completely as possible, discuss the role of chance and direction in evolution and in determining the phenotype of a population.
5. It is a theory proposed by Jean Baptiste de Lamarck which states that the ability to survive helped organisms develop characteristics necessary for them to adapt in a given environment. * a. The Evolution Theory b. The Theory of use and Disuse c. The Theory of Need d. The Theory of Natural Selection
1. a) How does this experiment demonstrate the definition of evolution? b) Fitness of organisms is a function of the environment (that is, organisms best fit to the local environmental conditions leave more surviving offspring). How does this experiment demonstrate this fact?
