Discuss criteria or measurements by whichyou might conclude that a population is betteradapted after a certain evolutionary change thanbefore
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
Males of different species of the fruit fly Drosophilathat live in the same parts of the Hawaiian Islandshave different elaborate courtship rituals. These rituals involvefighting other males and making stylized movements thatattract females. What type of reproductive isolation does thisrepresent?(A) habitat isolation(B) temporal isolation(C) behavioral isolation(D) gametic isolation
Microevolution is defined as a change inallele frequencies in a population over generations. Please explainwhat an allele is, in genetic terms. Name the three major factorsinvolved in allele frequency changes in populations. Describe, indetail, how natural selection works on individuals, while evolutionoccurs in populations. Include a real or hypothetical example ofthe process of natural selection in your answer other thaninsects and insecticide! Identify the specific natural selectionpressure and the specific trait being selected for in yourexample.
If you go back 40 generations into your biologicalancestry:a. How many ancestors are you predicted to have?b. How could you reconcile that prediction with thefact that the world’s population of humans is nowroughly 7 billion people?
Match the description with the correct term.A. the idea that inherent variation in a population allows for certain traits to be selected and carried on to future generations of the population experiencing an environmental pressureB.organisms that do not have a common ancestry but develop body parts that perform the same functionC. a model suggesting the gradual change of a species to form distinct speciesD. the idea that all living things on Earth share a common ancestorE. a common ancestor adapts and results in various speciesF. two populations become reproductively isolated (can no longer reproduce successfully)1.speciation 2. adaptive radiation 3. analogous structures 4.theory of evolution 5. gradualism 6. theory of natural selection

What are the allele frequencies of GBand GG inthis population?c. What are the expected frequencies of the genotypes if the population is at Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium?

Consider two species that diverged whilegeographically separated but resumed contactbefore reproduction isolation was complete. Predictwhat would happen over time if two species matedindiscriminately and a. hybrid offspring survived and reproducedmore poorly than offspring from intraspecificmating or b. hybrid offspring survived and reproduced aswell as offspring from intraspecific mating.Provide an example for each to illustrate yourpoint.
State 5 facts and 3 inferences Darwin used to construct the theory of Natural Selection. I'm confused I've listed overproduction, variation, and adaptation as the three inferences, but I do not know what to put for facts because what I've listed might belong under the facts category. Thanks!
If these conditions held constant – what would the expected heterozygosity be in thepopulation today (2018 to deal with a clean integer value for generations)?1b. In 1884 the population had grown to 106 when disaster struck the island. Of the 19 adult menon the island, 15 were in the same fishing boat that capsized, leaving only 4 adult men alive onthe island. These desperate times may have changed the sex ratio of the breeding population onthe island. Let’s say that now, each man fathered children with an average of 1.5 differentwomen (male:female ratio of 1:1.5). If we start back with a heterozygosity of 0.5 from this point,given the effective population size on Tristan da Cunha, what is the expected heterozygosity inthe current population 7 generations later?1c. The scenarios described in 1a and 1b are examples of which two evolutionary phenomena,respectively?
