Concept explainers

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.

Question

Were any of your physical traits autapomorphic or synapomorphic when plotted on the gene trees? Which ones and for which species? Phylogeneticists often refer to these physical traits as “evolutionarily significant,” what do you suppose they mean by this?

A farmer wants to increase the average body weight in a herd ofcattle. She begins with a herd having a mean weight of 595 kg andchooses individuals to breed that have a mean weight of 625 kg.Twenty offspring were obtained, having the following weights inkilograms: 612, 587, 604, 589, 615, 641, 575, 611, 610, 598, 589,620, 617, 577, 609, 633, 588, 599, 601, and 611.

A graduate student is studying a population of bluebonnets along aroadside. The plants in this population are genetically variable. Shecounts the seeds produced by each of 100 plants and measures the meanand variance of seed number. The variance is 20. Selecting one plant,the student takes cuttings from it and cultivates them in a greenhouse,eventually producing many genetically identical clones of the sameplant. She then transplants these clones into the roadside population,allows them to grow for one year, and then counts the seeds produced byeach of the cloned plants. The student finds that the variance in seednumber among these cloned plants is 5. From the phenotypic variancesof the genetically variable and the genetically identical plants, shecalculates the broad-sense heritability.
