MAKE CONNECTIONS In a region free of malaria, would individuals who areheterozygous for the sickle-cell allele be selected for or selected against? Explain.
MAKE CONNECTIONS Given that changes in morphologyare often caused by changes in the regulation of geneexpression, predict whether noncoding DNA is likely to beaffected by natural selection. See Concept 18.3 to reviewnoncoding DNA and regulation of gene expression.
WHAT IF? Suggest possible functions of the genes whose sequenceor expression was altered as the experimental populations evolved in thelow-glucose environment.

- INTERPRET DATA Compare the two graphs in Figure 1-17. What information does the second graph illustrate? What possible explanation can you give for the differences shown in the two graphs? (a) Number of chimpanzees who successfully employed specific method of tool use. (b) Number of chimpanzees who successfully employed learned method of tool use two months later. Figure 1-17 An experiment testing learning in chimpanzee populations In the photo, wild chimpanzees are shown observing a member of their group using a tool.arrow_forwardDiscuss Concepts Many human diseases are caused by recessive alleles that are not expressed in heterozygotes. Some people think that eugenicsthe selective breeding of humans to eliminate undesirable genetic traitsprovides a way for us to rid our populations of such harmful alleles. Explain why eugenics cannot eliminate such genetic traits from human populations.arrow_forwardMorphogens play a key role in development, cre-ating concentration gradients that inform cells of wherethey are and how to behave. Examine the simple patternsrepresented by the flags in Figure Q21–1. Which do yousuppose could be created by a gradient of a single mor-phogen? Which would require gradients of two morpho-gens? Assuming that such patterns were present in a sheetof cells, explain how they could be created by morphogens.arrow_forward
- Imagine you are trying to test whether a population of flowers is undergoing evolution. You suspect there is selection pressure on the color of the flower: bees seem to cluster around the red flowers more often than the blue flowers. In a separate experiment, you discover blue flower color is dominant to red flower color. In a field, you count 600 blue flowers and 200 red flowers. What would you expect the genetic structure of the flowers to be?arrow_forwardWHAT IF?

- Genetics Question: In humans, an allele for black hair in one gene can mask the expression of color on a secondgene. In one family with 10 children, 7 have black hair like their parents, 2 with red hair, and onewith blond hair. The blond child soon came of age and married a man with red hair. All their children have red hair. a. What specific mode of inheritance is exhibited? b. Using the letters A and B, assign alleles to the traits c. Based on the 9:3:3:1 ratio, what are the genotypes of the following: 7 children with black hair ________________ 2 children with red hair ___________________ 1 child with blond hair ____________________ d.
