MAKE CONNECTIONS In a research article aboutalkaptonuria published in 1902, Garrod suggested thathumans inherit two “characters” (alleles) for a particularenzyme and that both parents must contribute a faultyversion for the offspring to have alkaptonuria. Today,would this disorder be called dominant or recessive?(See Concept 14.4.)

EVOLUTION LINK. In what ways does evolution depend on transfer of information? In what ways does transfer of information depend on evolution?
23. Over several thousand years, some species of fish that live in pools in dark caves have lost functioning eyes. How might natural selection explain this loss? * a. The loss is explained by the principle of “use and disuse”. b. Natural selection cannot explain this loss, it only explains new innovations. c. Gene flow from outside of the caves led to the loss. d. In the dark, functioning eyes presented greater costs than benefits to the fish. 24. Engineers can design a limb on a robot that is much more versatile than those of any animal. Why are animal limbs not optimally arranged? * a. Natural selection has not yet had sufficient time to make the optimal limb. b. Natural selection is limited to modifying structures that were present in previous generations. c. Too many different genes (each with many alleles) needed to…
EVOLUTION CONNECTION Genes important in the embryonicdevelopment of animals, such as homeobox-containing genes,have been relatively well conserved during evolution; that is,they are more similar among different species than are manyother genes. Explain why this is.
Recall from our classes on molecular evolution that some proteins evolve more rapidly than others. For example, the oxygen-carrying protein myoglobin evolves more quickly than the D1 protein of photosystem II. What explains this difference in the rate of protein evolution? A. Proteins like myoglobin have evolved more recently than proteins like D1 and thus have been forced to evolve more quickly. B. Changes to the sequence of some proteins can be tolerated as they don’t alter fitness; for other proteins, sequence changes are usually harmful. C. In constrained proteins like D1, evolution results primarily from nucleotide changes that alter the amino acid sequence of the protein. D. Protein evolution is dependent upon the rate of gene mutation and some genes have a higher rate of mutation than others.
20) The image depicts the anatomical structure of the forelimb of a dolphin and a bat, both mammals. Which hypotheses are consistent with the evolutionary relationship shown by this image? Select ALL that apply.
Fossilized remains of prehistoric mastodons show anatomical similarities to modern-day elephants. These similarities provided the first evidence that mastodons were related to modern-day elephants. Which of the following is the BEST additional evidence that mastodons were related to elephants? A. Mastodons walked on four legs like modern-day elephants. B. Mastodon tissues contained proteins with similar amino acid sequences compared to modern-day elephants. C. Mastodon fossils were found in the same area where modern-day elephants live. D. Mastodons ate a diet similar to that of modern-day elephants.
Question:- Venomous snakes are some of the most awe-inspiring creatures in nature. Explain how venomous snakes could evolve from a non-venomous ancestor, using the tenants of natural selection.
A few other mammal taxa, including fruit bats, also lack the ability to make vitamin C. Is the inability to make vitamin C likely homologous or analogous between humans and fruit bats? explain
1. Apes and humans having similar digestive systems is a result of what type of evolution? And why? 2. How is the Scientific Method used to arrive at the conclusion for the type of evolution/the common ancestor? 3. If either humans or apes ate foods high in glucose, which parts of the digestion system would be involved (mouth to rectum)?
Apply Evolutionary Thinking Captive breeding programs for endangered species often have access to a limited supply of animals for a breeding stock. As a result, their offspring are at risk of being highly inbred. Why and how might zoological gardens and conservation organizations avoid or minimize inbreeding?
Evidence: Scientists found that the runners in the test who sprinted the slowest had no ACTN3 protein molecules in their bodies. Do you think that this evidence shows that the ACTN3 protein determines running ability? Explain your ideas using the words protein, trait, and feature in your response. Evidence: Scientists found that the runners who sprinted at an average pace had half the amount of ACTN3 protein molecules as the runners who sprinted the fastest. Do you think that this evidence shows that the ACTN3 protein determines running ability? Explain your ideas using the words protein, trait, and feature in your response.
True or false? a) The Cheetah and the Bobcat are equally related to the European Wild Cat. b) The Ocelot evolved before the Domestic Cat. c)The branch leading to the Ocelot became reproductively isolatedfrom the branch leading to the Domestic Cat before the branch leading to the Domestic Cat became reproductively isolated from the branch leading to the Asian Leopard Cat. d) The Leopard and the Ocelot are equally related to the Bobcat.
