Given the chart below, is evolution occurring on the given trait? Hint: Revisit the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium lecture. Group of answer choices Yes, evolution is occurring. Cannot be determined based on the given information. No, evolution is not occurring and the trait exists in a state of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
Which of the following is the degree of an organism’s adaptation to an environment, as measured by an individual’s relative genetic contribution to future generations? Fitness Lineage Adaptation
natural selection is incorrect
fitness is, mostly correctly, a technical term, What does it mean in evolution? (500 words min)
An individual and a population has certain characteristics.Name these attributes with definitations.
Evolutionary change occurs at the level of the individual ?true or false
Which of the following are true about human variation? (Choose all that apply): Group of answer choices Genotype refers to how a person looks, through interaction of genes and environment. Siblings are more like each other, genetically, than they are to either of their parents. Usually, it is only identical twins (or sometimes triplets or other multiple births) who have identical DNA, and even so, there is still some phenotypic variation between them. You could have genes for being tall, but if your mother (or even grandmother) had poor nutrition during fetal gestation, you could be shorter than your genes allow. You can produce taller offspring by stretching and remembering to stand up as tall as you can.
Natural selection is based on all of the following except individuals who survive longer tend to have more offspring than those who die young genetic variation exists within populations Individuals adapt to their environments and, thereby, evolve populations tend to produce more offspring than the environment can support the best adapted individuals tend to reproduce more
Evolution is a process of___ in a population through___ variation over___ Evolution involves___ and___.
what does fitness mean in evolution
Does evolution through natural selection produce “better” organisms in an absolute sense? Are we climbing the “Ladder of Nature”? Defend your answer.
True or false: If false, please make it a correct statement. A rancher uses a particular chicken for breeding purposes because, on average, she observed that the chicken laid more eggs than other chickens. The rancher selecting the desirable trait would be considered an example of natural selection.
