(a)

Summary Introduction

To draw: A graph depicting the phenomenon of no selection with a range of phenotype (e.g. height) on the x-axis and number of the individual on the y-axis.

Introduction: The phenomenon of natural selection is based on the evolutionary changes that occur within the population.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To draw: A graph depicting the phenomenon of “stabilizing selection” with a range of phenotype (e.g. height) on the x-axis and number of the individual on the y-axis.

Introduction: The phenomenon of natural selection is based on the evolutionary changes that occur within the population. The mechanism of natural selection can be classified into three kinds: stabilizing selection, directional selection, and disruptive selection.

(c)

VISUAL SKILLS Consider a population in which heterozygotes at a certain locus have an extreme phenotype(such as being larger than homozygotes) that confersa selective advantage. Compare this description to themodels of selection modes shown in Figure 23.13. Doesthis situation represent directional, disruptive, or stabilizing selection? Explain your answer.
Using the concepts of variability, environmental pressure and natural selection how does the synthetic theory explain the darwinian natural selection?
MAKE CONNECTIONS Explain how natural selection could increase the resemblance of a harmlessspecies to a distantly related harmful species. In addition to selection, what else could account for a harmlessspecies resembling a closely related harmful species? (See Concept 22.2.)
