Consider the roles of different types of selective pressure.
Part A: Compare and contrast sexual selection, artificial selection, and natural selection.
Part B: Give examples of traits that may be favored in sexual selection, artificial selection, and natural
selection. For each, explain if the trait would be favored by one type of selection but selected against by
another type of selection.

Give an example of each of the following evolutionary forces: mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and nonrandom mating.
ADJUST
Negative assortative mating means that organisms choose mates that are different
from themselves. If negative assortive mating occurs in a population, what would
expect to happen to genotype frequency over generations?
O a) Frequency of the heterozygous genotype will increase.
b) Frequency of the homozygous genotypes will decrease.
O c) Frequency of the homozygous genotypes will increase.
O d) Both A and B

- Selection may also act against heterozygotes. How do allele frequencies change if the two homozygotes have unequal fitness, but heterozgotes have a constant 50% reduced fitness? Simulate allele frequency changes with multiple values of p0 (between 0 and 1). can you explain what happens and whyarrow_forwardGive one example of how allele frequencies change from one generation to the next due to mutation, migration, genetic drift, nonrandom mating, and selection.arrow_forwardGraph 2: Draw the predictions of a population genetics model when the starting allele frequency of the A1 allele is 0.2, individuals that are homozygous for the A1 allele have a 5% increase in fitness, and otherwise all assumptions of the Hardy Weinberg model are true. 1.0 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.0arrow_forward
- Selection may also act against heterozygotes. How do allele frequencies change if the two homozygotes have equal fitness, but heterozgotes have a 50% reduced fitness? Explain what happens and whyarrow_forwardEvolution determines the change in inherited traits over time to ensure survival. There are three variants identified as Variant 1 with high reproductive rate, eats fruits and seeds; Variant 2, thick fur, produces toxins; and Variant 3 with thick fur, fast and resistant to disease. These variants are found in a cool, wet, and soil environment. In time 0 years with cool and wet environment, the population is 50,000 with 10,000 Variant 1, 15,000 Variant 2, and 25,000 of Variant 3. Two thousand years past, the environment remained the same with constant average temperature and rainfall. Variant 1 with a population of 26,000, Variant 2, 35,000, and Variant 3, 62,000. A disease spread throughout the population. However the population increased to 72,000. Determine the percentage increase in the population of the variants.arrow_forwardCalculate selection for the following scenario. In a population of prairie dogs living on a prairie, prairie dogs with genotype aa have 8 offspring per year on average, those with genotype Aa have 4 offspring per year on average, and those with genotype AA have 3 offspring per year on average. Round selection to the nearest hundredth, report selection as a value ranging from "0.00" to "1.00" Selection on genotype Aa: Selection on genotype AA: Selection on genotype aa: Which genotype has the highest fitness? Fill in the blank with homozygous dominant, heterozygous, or homozygous recessivearrow_forward
- Apply the VIDA table to the evolution of sickle cell disease to justify whether it is an instance of evolution by natural selection. Answer the following questions. Is there variation in this trait in the population? How exactly does it vary? Is the trait at least partly inherited? Is there selection for this trait in a particular environment? (What is the selective pressure? And how does a trait give an advantage or disadvantage in that environment?) What is the evidence that this trait makes organisms better adapted to their environment?arrow_forwardDescribe the major components of the runaway sexual selection hypothesis.arrow_forwardExplain how sexual selection might lead to a)sexual dimorphism and b) members of one sex (usually male) having traits that do not enhance their survivalarrow_forward
- Which of the following statements regarding selection is true? Incorrect answer - selection will always result in a change in allele frequencies. Correct Answer - The direction and magnitude of allele frequency change due to selection can be predicted. Question: Please explain in detail why the correct answer is correct and please explain why the incorrect answer is not correct.arrow_forwardWhich is an example of disruptive selection? Group of answer choices Drug resistance increases with each generation; the resistant bacteria survive, and the nonresistant bacteria get killed off. Swiss starlings usually lay four or five eggs, thereby increasing their chances of more offspring. Over time, Equus developed strength, intelligence, speed and durable grinding teeth. Panay island snails mainly have two different phenotypes, black and white shells.arrow_forwardBASED ON THIS GRAPH: A small community that is heavily infested with mosquitoes was sprayed weekly with the insecticide DDT for several months. Daily counts providing information on mosquito population size are represented in the graph below. Provide a biological explanation for the changes in the mosquito population over time. Use the terms: insecticide resistance/resistant, natural selection, favorable trait, reproduce, mutation/sexual reproductionarrow_forward
