. A population of red deer were trapped on an island off of England during the last interglacial period. Within 6,000 years, the population evolved from a mean weight of 200 kg toa mean weight of 36 kg. The generation time of red deer is 5 years and the narrow senseheritability of body weight is 0.5. What is the rate of evolutionary change (in Darwins)?

Consider the speciation event via which your species O. virginianus White tail deer split from species b O. hemionus Mule Deer (the more closely related species). Taking into account the basic biology of these organisms, briefly describe how each of the four evolutionary forces might have acted in producing that speciation event: genetic drift, gene flow, natural selection and nutation) .Genetic drift .Gene Flow .Nautual selection . Mutation
Jellyfish Lake, located on the Pacific island of Palau, is home tomillions of jellyfish. Many years ago, sea levels dropped and thejellyfish were trapped in the basin. The lake contains no predators,and the jellyfish’s sting has weakened. Jellyfish Lake is now a populartourist attraction where snorkelers can swim among the jellyfish.Explain how Jellyfish Lake is evidence for evolution

Sea Otters were hunted nearly to extinction in the 1800’s. California’s sea otters are decedent from a single colony of about 50 individuals. Which type of mechanism evolution is this? Natural Selection Genetic drift Gene Flow Bottleneck Effect Founder Effect Sexual Selection
What causes variation among a population of living things and How can variation in one generation influence the next generation? Is the variation in a population will be examined as the “raw material” upon which natural selection acts. Why are there so many different kinds of living things? Comparing species that exist today reveals a lot about their relationships to one another and provides evidence of common origins. This session explores the theory of evolution: change in species over time.
