Q4.13. Which of the following statements about sexual selection is correct? Female choice expected to produce males with extreme ornaments like gaudy tail feathers. Female choice is expected to produce males with enhanced weaponry like antlers and horns. Male-male competition is expected to produce females with extreme ornaments like gaudy tail feathers. Male-male competition is expected to produce females with enhanced weaponry like antlers and horns. Q4.14. Which of the following species is most likely to exhibit paternal care?

#21 Answer the following questions about evolution. Number responses according to the questions (1-4). How can negative traits that don't show up until old age continue in populations? (Why aren't they eliminated through natural selection?) As part of answer, provide an example. Imagine a population of mice living in a grey, rocky environment. Some mice are grey and some are brown. If natural selection occurs in this population, what would someone expect to see if you returned in 100 mouse generations? Describe what someone see in terms of fur colors in the population. Imagine a population of mice living in a grey, rocky environment. Some mice are grey and some are brown. If mutations occur in this population, what could someone see if they returned in 100 mouse generations, that would tell them mutations had occurred? Describe what they would see in terms of fur colors in the population, and how it would be different from what they would see in #2. If dark skin helps protect…
Q1: What is selective breeding, and how does it work? Q2: Explain how selective breeding leads to artiﬁcial selection. Q3: Name as many organisms as you can whose current characteristics are due to artiﬁcial selection.
ACTIVITY 9.2: Essay. Directions: Read the situation and identify the points of Darwin’s natural selection. There are 2 types of worms: worms that eat at night (nocturnal) and worms that eat during the day (diurnal). The birds eat during the day and seem to be eating ONLY the diurnal worms. The nocturnal worms are in their burrows during this time. Each spring when the worms reproduce, they have about 500 babies but only 100 of tthese 500 ever become old enough to reproduce.A. Describe variations in populations. ____________________________________________B.

Which of the following is a case of directional selection? Question 70 options: During a drought, individual leopard frogs of intermediate body size are less likely to survive than large and small individuals. During a drought, individual house finches with intermediate beak size are more likely to survive than individuals with large or small beaks. During a drought, individual cattails that are heterozygous at a particular locus are more likely to die than homozygous individuals. During a drought, the larger individuals in a population of lizards are less likely to survive than the smaller ones.
9) Which of the following is NOT an example of sexual selection? a.Female lesser snow geese with white feathers are more likely to mate with white-feathered males than blue-feathered males; whereas females with blue feathers are more likely to mate with blue-feathered males b.Male marine iguanas with the largest territories attract more mates than males with smaller territories c.A drab-coloured female bird prefers to mate with a male who is brightly coloured d.The largest male elephant seals, who are able to fight off smaller males, have the highest mating success
Q8 -You sample 1000 lizards in a very large population. Every individual you have sampled is brown. You conclude that all lizards in this population are brown. This is deductive reasoning.true or false? -Suppose all sex-changing fish are from coral reef habitats. You discover a wild-caught sex-changing fish in a fish store. You conclude that this fish was harvested from a coral reef. This is inductive reasoning. true or false? -Populations that live in areas with high ecological mortality reproduce at younger ages than similar species living in areas with low ecological mortality. You decide to run an experiment comparing two populations. The environment of population 1 has many predators, parasites, and pathogens; the environment of population 2 is free of predators, etc. You predict that population 1 will reproduce at a younger age than population 2. This is deductive reasoning. true or false?
29. How did Thomas Malthus contribute to Charles Darwin's insights about natural selection? Group of answer choices Malthus proposed that populations tend to grow faster than resources do. Malthus was among the first to recognize that the fossil record documents species changing over time. Malthus was the one who proposed the idea of gradualism. Malthus developed the first system of categorizing and naming species. Malthus proposed that characteristics acquired during one's lifetime can be passed to offspring.

37. When 2 different species are competing for a resource, in the absence of other factors, one will usually win because the competition is asymmetrical. That is because: One species usually cheats. Populations have different numbers of individuals. Different species have different morphologies (how they look) and physiologies (how they function). All of the choices are true.
Need help It has been found that rats with the genotype Ww are more resistant to Warfarin than either WW that have a VitK deficiency or ww that are very susceptible. Given that the relative fitness values are 1 for Ww, 0.37 for WW and 0.19 for ww, predict the allele and genotype frequencies once Hardy Weinberg equilibrium is established for a rat population in a grain elevator where warfarin is used continually. Suggest what might happen if warfarin use was stopped.
1. Which of these populations has all the characteristics needed to evolve by natural selection? A. a population of lizards may be brown or red. The temperature of the eggs determines the color of the baby lizards, and a brown parent lizard is equally likely to give birth to either color of offspring. B. a population of spiders includes individuals that build their webs in triangle shapes and others that build their webs in round shapes. They inherit their web-building strategies from their parents and all shapes are equally successful at catching insects. C. some gazelles are capable of running faster than others, a skill that is partially genetic Faster gazelles tend to live longer and have more offspring. A. Population A B. Population B C. Population C 2. Your friend asks you "If evolution is real, why aren't humans perfectly adapted by now! why do people still get heart disease and cancer and die?"
