Concept explainers

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.

Question

1. List down at least 3 different traits that can be introduced to organisms to change their properties and give examples of modified traits using cloned genes and their and their applications. 2. What are the various types of reproductive isolating mechanisms that can lead to speciation? -What are the different modes of speciation? -Explain how evolution produce the tremendous amount of diversity among organisms.

Definition Definition Process by which new species arise. This occurs when populations of a species become isolated and diverge, developing unique traits through natural selection, genetic drift, or other mechanisms. Over time, these differences accumulate until the populations can no longer interbreed and are considered separate species.

1) What is the source of modifications that contribute to the variety of offspring produced by descent with modification (HINT: Think of concepts discussed in the genetics and reproduction units) 2) During Charles Darwin’s voyages, he observed species of plants and animals unique to specific islands, but with similar looking species on nearby islands. How did Darwin explain these similarities and differences? 3) Unique species of animals found on isolated islands are not randomly different from their mainland “cousins,” they are especially and uniquely adapted for island life. Provide examples of this phenomenon. How can this occurrence be explained?
2) In some Drosophila species, conditions in the female reproductive tract do not allow the sperm of other species to survive long enough for fertilization to occur. What mechanism of reproductive isolation is in operation in this example? a.Temporal isolation. b.Mechanical isolation. c.Low hybrid viability. d.Gametic isolation.
Apply Evolutionary Thinking How do human activities (such as destruction of natural habitats, diversion of rivers, and the construction of buildings) influence the chances that new species of plants and animals will evolve in the future? Frame your answer in terms of the geographical and genetic factors that foster speciation.
1. a) How does this experiment demonstrate the definition of evolution? b) Fitness of organisms is a function of the environment (that is, organisms best fit to the local environmental conditions leave more surviving offspring). How does this experiment demonstrate this fact?
1. Distinguish between microevolution and macroevolution.2. Hawthorn flies are an example of what kind of speciation? Explain why.
5. How might climate change affect the creation of new hybrid zones? 6. What is the difference between a punctuated pattern of speciation and a gradual pattern of speciation? 7. What is a possible genetic mechanism for gradualism? 8. What is a possible genetic mechanism for punctuated equilibrium?
4. Why is the Hardy Weinberg law of equilibrium important to a study of evolutionary processes? a. it tells us how heavy are mammals and if they may have lived in cold enviroments in the past. b. It shows us to measure change in gene frequency in population to see if selection pressures are affecting gene expression. c.It allows us to study how eplgenetics affects specific traits d. It allow us to measure the age of fossils and date the origin of a species
25) What was a major gap in evolutionary theory when Darwin published "The origin of species by natural selection"? A) We did not know what might cause competition between individuals of the same species B) We did not know that microscopic organisms exist C) We did not know about dinosaurs D) We did not know how traits could be inherited, or how new traits might arise in a population 26) In the late 1800s, the saltation hypothesis (hopeful monster hypothesis) was proposed as a way to explain how speciation happens. Why was this hypothesis ultimately rejected by “the new synthesis"? A) Because it was silly B) Because we discovered the DNA nature of genes C) Because it could not explain where mutations came from D) Because it required individuals to evolve rather than populations
1) In allopatric speciation, geographic separation of two populations a.reduces the relative fitness of hybrid offspring. b.is sufficient for speciation to occur. c.allows gene flow between them. d.inhibits gene flow between them.
3. What is the difference between homologous and analogous traits? In your answer, describe an example of convergent evolution.
Which situation would most likely lead to allopatric speciation? Flood causes the formation of a new lake A storm causes several large trees to fall down A mutation causes a new trait to develop An injury causes an organism to seek out a new food source.
14) Hybridization was not originally recognized as a mechanism of speciation by either Darwin or the researchers of the "new synthesis". However, today there are many examples of species that have originated through hybridization. What is the best explanation for why we have so many examples of species originating through hybridization? A) Hybridization is more likely to occur in regions where scientists have put in more effort studying speciation B) Hybridization occurs fairly regularly, and when it leads to new species only takes a few generations, which is fast enough for researchers to see fairly easily C) Hybridization is fairly easy to study in captivity D) Hybridization has been carried out frequently by farmers attempting to produce new, better species to grow 15) Anthropologist who study human evolution genetically have determined that populations of our species have gone through"founder effect" type events.
