Can you pick out the mossy leaf-tailed gecko lying against the tree trunk in this photo? How is the appearance of the gecko a benefit in terms of survival? Given what you learned about evolution, natural selection, and genetic information in this chapter, describe how the gecko's coloration might have evolved.

Discuss how the results of this simulation are an example of evolution?
Simulation:
For this lab, the dominant allele for normal fur pigmentation (gray) is represented by G and the recessive allele for leucistic pigmentation is represented by g. Squirrels that inherit two G alleles (homozygous dominant) or one G and one g allele (heterozygous) have normal pigmentation, while squirrels that inherit two gs (homozygous recessive) have leucistic pigmentation.
Due to the difficulty of leucisitc squirrels to camouflage themselves against predators, in each generation, 50% of the gg individuals will die off from predation before they can reach maturity. This means they will not be able to pass their genes on to the next generation.
Describe how changes in the ladybugs'environment may influence their survival and/or reproduction. Make sure to use the vocabulary terms adaptation, natural selection, and polymorphic.

- Respond to the following paragraph below? I've been thinking a lot about the theories of why humans evolved to become bipedal, and have been watching a lot of specials on YouTube. One of the things that interests me, is one of the ancient human ancestors evolved to be a mixed form of bipedal and not. I find that extremely interesting, because at the time that this being lived Africa was still largely covered in dense jungle/forest and the being still has to climb trees. It was the perfect inbetween of humans and apes or chimps. There was still some m grabbing capability in its feet to allow it to imb trees, but was also able to straighten and reach for higher places. In the video the theory is that these primitive apes needed to reach higher food that others weren't able to, and also had to carry the food for longer distances. One thing that continues from this was the African landscape starting to shift from jungle to savana. With walking upright, they took less heat from the sun,…arrow_forwardPOST QUIZ: Write true if the statement is true or false if the statement is false. 1. As recently as 200 years ago, many people believed that Earth was only 6,000 years old 2. Artificial selection occurs when nature selects for beneficial traits. 3. The individual Galápagos Islands are all similar to each other. 4. Malthus argued that human populations grow faster than their resources. 5. Lamarck was one of the first scientists to propose that species evolve by natural selectio 6. Lyell was one of the first to say that Earth must be far older than most people believed. 7.

- Define natural selection using the 5 points below to explain its role in understanding primate behavior. (1) there is variation among individuals; (2) some of that variation is heritable; (3) there is always competition between individuals for resources; (4) some variants outcompete other variants and leave more offspring; (5) to the extent that the parent's traits are heritable, then a larger portion of the next generation will reflect those traits.arrow_forwardConsider the figure attached. A student in a course on intelligent design theory claims that the graph in part (a) shows that losing the ability to respire actually is adaptive for yeast cells living in small populations. Please read the incomplete sentence that appears immediately below, assess as possible completions the lowercase-Roman-numeral-labelled statements that follow, and click each uppercase-letter-labelled response that is presented below and completes accurately the sentence. An astute student in an evolution course would respond that i. the graph in part (a) shows that selection among mitochondria within yeast cells can lead to fixation for traits that decrease mean fitness for that yeast population. ii. the student in the course on intelligent design is wrong; the yeast cells in the small population group retained completely the ability to respire, as they otherwise would have been unable to harvest energy. iii. a property (e.g., inability to respire) that is…arrow_forwardGive answer to all partsarrow_forward
- Darwin's concept of evolution "the theory of decent with modification through variation and natural selection" can best be demonstrated by which of the following examples? a. A giraffe stretches his neck to reach higher branches. The exercise of stretching up strengthens the muscles in the giraffe's neck and legs. This ability to stretch is also seen in the giraffe's offspring. b. A monkey accidentally drops her fruit in the salty water of a bay. She recovers the fruit and eats it. She discovers the fruit is cleaner and tastes better after it has been in the salty water. She continues to wash the fruit in the bay before eating it. Her offspring see what she has done and also wash their fruit in the salty water. Soon, the whole population of monkeys is washing their fruit. c. Several turtles hatch from a clutch of eggs buried in the sand on a beach. One of the turtles is the color of the sand; the others are darker in color. The turtles scurry toward the water,…arrow_forwardComparing across animals in the image, do you think there is a major difference in the animals' abilities to solve complex problems like mazes, tool use, etc.?

- Revise the passage Darwin is best known for his Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics, first presented in 1801 (Darwin's first book dealing with natural selection was published in 1859):Based on these observations and inferences, Darwin concluded that these traits, called adaptations were the product of evolution by Acquired Traits, these traits made the members of the population who had them equally fit for survival. an organism could also change during their lifetime in order to adapt to its environment, those changes are passed on to its offspring. For example, darwin believed that if giraffes stretched their necks to reach food, Their offspring and later generations would inherit the resulting long necks.arrow_forwardC. Adaptation and Genetic Variation. The picture below represents four different species of finch. Study the picture and answer the questions that follow. 2 3 1. The finches have different beaks based on what they eat. Which do you think eats seeds? 2. Which do you think eats insects? 3. Which do you think eats leaves?. 4. Which do you think eats fruits? 5. Darwin theorized that all four of these finches evolved from one ancestor.
