QUESTION 5 I do an indepth study of two populations of cobras. During this study I crossbreed individuals from each population and measure the fitness of the offspring. I also do a genetic survey of each population to determine the level of genetic differences that separate the two populations. Based on the results I decide that these two population are part of the same species. Which of the following species definitions was being relied on most heavily during this study? O Morphological Species Biological Species Phylogenetic Species Polyploid species

QUESTION 8 Morphological differences are abundant among many species. We make assumptions about why adaptations exist, but to understand whether a specific trait is a adaptive and why, researchers must create experiments that have all the following, EXCEPT: a. replication of each treatment to ensure reliability of results. b. hypotheses that are testable and falsifiable. c. include control groups. d. exceedingly small sample sizes in each treatment group. e. experimental design that enables all full interpretation of differences.
Question 1. In total, how many plant populations were established in this experiment? In each of these populations, what was the initial frequency of each plant genotype? Question 2. Did evolution occur in the control populations? If so, what factor or factors may have caused evolution by natural selection in these populations? Explain your answer. Question 3. Did evolution occur in the populations exposed to the generalist herbivore? If so, what factor or factors may have caused evolution by natural selection in these populations? Explain your answer. Question 4. Compare results for the control and generalist herbivore treatments. Why do you think the experiment showed the results that it did? Plant Genotypes Suppose the researchers conduct another experiment to investigate whether a generalist herbivore can affect the natural selection of a plant species. They establish ten replicate populations of the plant and expose each to two experimental treatments: a control (no herbivore) and…
QUESTION 22 Tiktaalik and Archaeopteryx are very important transitional forms. They provide evidence for evolution through examples of: a. microevolution b. macroevolution c. migration d. speciation
QUESTION 16 You are examining a beloved population of trillium in the backyard of your childhood home. You recall as a child that flowers were bright white. As you return to the population you note that many (but not all) of the flowers have a faint purple vertical stripe in the middle of each petal. List each of Darwin’s postulates and what must be true about your population if it has undergone evolution by natural selection for petal color.
QUESTION 17 The current rate of extinction is ____ , compared to the historical background extinction rate. a. almost 1,000 times lower b. slightly less c. about the same d. up to 1,000 times higher e. fluctuating wildly
Question 5 A rather large population of organisms have 396 red-sided individuals and 557 tan-sided individuals. Assume that red is totally recessive. Please calculate the following: a) The allele frequencies of each allele b) The expected genotype frequencies. c) The number of heterozygous individuals that you would predict to be in this population. d) The expected phenotype frequencies. e) Conditions happen to be really good this year for breeding and next year there are 1,245 offspring. Assuming that all of the Hardy-Weinberg conditions are met, how many of these would you expect to be red-sided and how many tan-sided?
QUESTION 14 Darwin’s finches on the Galapagos Islands are a group of species of finches. One of the major features noted is the variation in beak depth. We spent some time talking about the variation in the ground finch population and how that changed overtime and how that change corresponded to changes in environmental conditions, which affected food item characteristics and abundance. The changes in beak depth over time is a result of… a. natural selection b. gene flow c. sexual selection d. artificial selection
QUESTION 19 People who specifically study the growth patterns and socioeconomic characteristics of human populations are called ___. a. demographers b. crytographers c. geographers d. environmentalists e. ecologists
QUESTION 18 Describe: Population aging and increased longevity are creating more multi- and intergenerational families in the U.S. Give two examples of ways in which family structure and family roles are changing because of these changes.
Question 4 Within a population of butterflies, the colour brown (B) is dominant over the colour white (b). And, 40% of all butterflies are white. Given this simple information, which is something that is very likely to be on an exam, calculate the following: A) The percentage of butterflies in the population that are heterozygous. B) The frequency of homozygous dominant individuals.
Question 3. There are 100 students in a class. Ninety-six did well in the course whereas four blew it totally and received a grade of F. Sorry. In the highly unlikely event that these traits are genetic rather than environmental, if these traits involve dominant and recessive alleles, and if the four (4%) represent the frequency of the homozygous recessive condition, please calculate the following: A) The frequency of the recessive allele. B) The frequency of the dominant allele. C) The frequency of heterozygous individuals. Question 4 Within a population of butterflies, the colour brown (B) is dominant over the colour white (b).

Please help with these as they are part of 1 question and I am so confused. I really need help like never before and I will highly consider thumbs up but please help asap. 1- Competitive exclusion means that salamanders from these four samples must have lived in four different geographic regions. ( choose true or false) 2- Salamanders from Sample 1 probably prey on salamanders from Sample 4. ( choose true or false) 3- There could be two species of salamanders represented in these samples, and Sample 2 and Sample 3 are from populations where the ranges of the two species overlap. ( choose true or false) 4- These four samples of skulls are from four different species of salamanders and Samples 1, 2, and 3 were collected in the same region but Sample 4 was collected from a different region. ( choose true or false)
