SYNTHESI2E YOUR KNOWLEDGE
This kettle lake forracd 14,000 years ago when a glacier that covered the surrounding area melted. Initially devoid of animal life, over time the lake was colonized by Invertebrates and other animals. Hypothesize how mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow may have affected populations that colonized the lake.

- Why was it believed that life began in the seas and not in land or air? * Land and air were inhospitable places for life during the Hadean Eon. Land and air were inhospitable places for life during the Archean Eon. Land and air were inhospitable places for life during the Phanerozoic Eon. Land and air were inhospitable places for life during the Proterozoic Eon.arrow_forwardTheory of Evolution PART 1 Answer the following with one sentence each question. 1. What do you know about the history of your selected area within the last 25-50 years (e.g. urbanization, geological changes, structures built or destroyed, etc)? 2. Based on this history, what hypothesis can you make about its effect on the area's nature/environment/wildlife? 3. what evolutionary changes/events do you expect to find? 4. Why do you expect to see these changes/events? 5. How will you determine these evolutionary changes/events? (your answers should within your study's limits)arrow_forwardIs your answer supported by the information from the article “Can Evolution outrace Climate Change”? According to the authors of this article, what are the conditions necessary for an organism to evolve to accommodate climate change?arrow_forward
- The term Anthropocene implies that we were the major force of nature prior to 10,000 years ago. our global impact has accelerated greatly during the past couple of centuries. humans have impacted the earth at a planetary scale so severe that we can consider this a new geological epoch. millions of years from now the record of human life will be eradicated. there are more humans than bacteria.arrow_forwardIn their laboratory experiments of simulations of early Earth, Miller and Urey observed the abiotic synthesis of abundant amounts of DNA amino acids liposomes genetic systems Which of the following was probably NOT present in the primitive Earth s atmosphere (when life first appeared)? O2 NH3 H2O CH4 CO2arrow_forwardDuring which geologic eon was the Earth first colonized by living organisms? the Phanerozoic Eon the Proterozoic Eon the Archaean Eon the Hadean Eon none of the abovearrow_forward

Nearly all went extinct long before humans arrived on the scene. Whyshould we be concerned about the extinction of organisms today?arrow_forwardScientists are examining the possible role of a large asteroid in the Cretaceous mass extinction event. A large asteroid strike would likely have caused rapid climate cooling and diffusion of sunlight. Which of the following statements are the best null and alternative hypotheses when scientists look at the geologic evidence of extinction related to the asteroid strike? Null: The rate of extinction would be steady over the entire length of time the climate was altered. Alternative: The rate of extinction would be greatest immediately before the asteroid strike. Null: The rate of extinction would gradually decrease over the entire length of time the climate was altered. Alternative: The rate of extinction would be at its lowest immediately after the asteroid strike. Null: The rate of extinction would be steady over the entire length of time the climate was altered. Alternative: The rate of extinction would be greatest immediately after the asteroid strike. Null: The rate of…arrow_forward
- EVOLUTION CONNECTION Describe how gene flow, geneticdrift, and natural selection all can influence macroevolution.arrow_forwardEVOLUTION CONNECTION The fossil record indicates that therehave been five mass extinction events in the past 500 millionyears (see Concept 25.4). Many ecologists think we are on theverge of entering a sixth mass extinction event. Briefly discussthe history of mass extinctions and the length of time it typicallytakes for species diversity to recover through the process ofevolution. Explain why this should motivate us to slow theloss of biodiversity today.arrow_forwardIn _____________, new species of a lineage move into a wide range of habitats by way of bursts of microevolutionary events. a. an adaptive radiation b. natural selection c. genetic drift d. punctuated equilibriumarrow_forward
