Question 16
The genetic changes found in the evolution of maize plants has led to which of the following traits in human dominated landscapes? (check any/all that
apply)
O many long branches with starchy kernals
O large kernals
O tall stalks and few branches
O short stalks
O small kernals that fall easily off cobs for harvest
Question 17
The Grants studied finch evolution over several decades, as they continue to do, mainly on Daphne Major in the Galapagos. Which of the following is
the best statement describing or supporting the facts of natural selection that they documented?
O The strength of selection on beak size tended not to fluctuate as much as they predicted, over the decades
O The strength of selection was quite drastic, causing average beak depth to fluctuate by several mm from year to year based upon food availability
O The strength of selection favoring larger beak size gradually and steadily increased over the decades
O The strength of selection generally favored smaller beak sizes over the study period
O The strength of selection on beak size, either large or small, was variable because it depended on environmental conditions that variably favored different types of
food resources.
