Natural selection acts upon ____________________________, evolution upon _______________________________. What is the gene pool and how does natural selection act upon it? If a version of a gene confers an advantage to survival and reproduction, that version of the gene will be favored by natural selection and we can expect the frequency of that gene to ______________________ within the population over time. Versions of the gene that do not confer an advantage (or confer a disadvantage) should become _______________ prevalent . This generation to generation change in the gene pool is called ________________________. Changes to the genetic makeup of a population and the individuals within it can arise via two mechanisms. List and describe both. Both of these processes are ________________________________. Once created, new combinations of genes will be acted upon by _________new alleles_______________________. How is Darwinian “fitness” different than the typical definition used in…
Which of the following is a factor that, by itself, does not promotewidespread changes in allele or genotype frequencies?a. New mutationb. Natural selectionc. Genetic driftd. Migratione. Nonrandom mating
What is the role of variation in evolution. If heterozygosity is reduced, what happens to the potential for evolution?. The phenotype and genotype bof a population is die to a mosaic of random and directed processes, some of them 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
Five conditions are required to maintain the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium in a population. Closed population Large population Random mating No net mutations No natural selection If any of these conditions is not being met, the allele frequencies in the population will change, leading to microevolution in the population.Match each of the following scenarios to the Hardy–Weinberg condition that is NOT being met:An increase in antibiotic resistance among bacteria exposed to antibiotics occurs. AnswerCaribou from one herd move to a new area and breed with caribou of a completely different herd. Answer Among eastern bluebirds, more brightly coloured males breed with more brightly coloured females. AnswerDue to overhunting, there is little genetic diversity in the current population of bearded vultures, which have all descended from a population of only 36 birds. Answer

Which of the following statements is NOT an observation or inference on which natural selection is based? Group of answer choices Only a fraction of an individual’s offspring may survive. Species produce more offspring than the environment can support. There is heritable variation among individuals. Modifications of an organism acquires during its lifetime can be passed to its offspring.
Book: Greatest Show on Earth Answer the question below. In chapter 3, Dawkins suggests that selection is powerful yet unconscious of its actions ("without any understanding at all"). He uses a variety of examples to highlight how various organisms drive selection, sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously, by mediating the breeding process. Using one of the examples explain how some organisms unconsciously drive the selection of others. -150 word minimum
Natural selection tends to work toward genetic unity;the genotypes that are most fit produce the mostoffspring and increase the frequency of adaptive allelesin the population. Yet there remains a great deal ofvariability within the populations of species. Describethe factors that contribute to this genetic variability. Provide the link of references
When imbalances occur in the sex ratio of sexual species that have two sexes (i.e other than a 50:50 ratio). the members of the minority sex often receive a greater proportion of care and resources from parents then do the offspring of the majority sex. this is most clearly an example of? genetic drift, directional selection, frequency dependent selection, stabilizing selection, or postzygotic barrier
How can Darwin's finches explain natural selection and descent with modification? What is another example of natural selection and descent with modification? In both of your answers, you should describe the trait that was selected for/against and why this trait was an advantage/disadvantage. Plus, state how natural selection changed the population over time.
