The elaborate tail of the peacock (Pavo cristatus) is approximately 120 cm to 150 cm long, while the tail ofthe peahen is quite short. The long tail reduces the male bird’s ability to maneuver and fly and makes him moreconspicuous to predators. Suggest at least one reason why this cumbersome structure has not been eliminatedby natural selection.
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.
What is the role of variation in evolution-if heterozygosity is reduced, what happens to the potential for evolution? The phenotype and genotype of a population is due to a mosaic of random and directed processe.some of these have to do with history; some are related to adaptation, etc. As completely as possibl, discuss the role of chance and direction in evolution and in determining the phenotype of a population.
How can Darwin's finches explain natural selection and descent with modification? What is another example of natural selection and descent with modification? In both of your answers, you should describe the trait that was selected for/against and why this trait was an advantage/disadvantage. Plus, state how natural selection changed the population over time.
Book: Greatest Show on Earth Answer both question below. Explain what Dawkins says selection is acting on in chapter 2 and how that variation is distributed throughout a population (gene pool) (blending vs. independent assortment). -150 word minimum In chapter 3, Dawkins suggests that selection is powerful yet unconscious of its actions ("without any understanding at all"). He uses a variety of examples to highlight how various organisms drive selection, sometimes consciously and sometimes unconsciously, by mediating the breeding process. Using one of the examples explain how some organisms unconsciously drive the selection of others. -150 word minimum

Which aspect(s) of natural selection is(are) illustrated by the figure below? Check ALL answers that apply. A. Variation among individuals must be genetically transmissible to the next generation. B. Variation must exist in a population. C. Variation among individuals leads to differences in lifetime reproductive success. D. More individuals are produced each generation than the environment can support, resulting in competition for survival.
A random form of evolution is called_________ . This form of evolution ccurs more rapidly and has a greater effect in populations that are ___________ . Two important causes of this form of evolution are_______ and_________. Which of these would apply to a population started by a breeding pair that was stranded on an island?
Suppose that recessive deleterious allele is found to be much less common than its predicted equilibrium frequency, based on the selection coefficient and mutation rate measured in modern populations. Which of the following is the best explanation for this? Note that, when selection or mutation rates change, it may take hundred of generations for population to reach its new equilibrium. A. Selection against the allele was weaker in the past than today B. Mutation rates were higher in the past C. Heterozygote advantage in some environments D. Increases lifespans have made the allele more deleterious now than it was in the Please answer asap and in short and content should not be palgarised please
