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.

We have looked at what the fossil record can tell us about the amazing History of Life on Earth. We've examined the evidence for an early origin for life in the sea, 3800 million years, and investigated how life invaded life about 500 million years. We've also discussed the subsequent boom in life that massively increased biodiversity but also noted how the History of Life is frequently punctuated by mass extinctions. Today we stand on the threshold of a new mass extinction event. The biodiversity that we take for granted and that sustains humans is threatened to a degree only rarely seen in 4500 million years of Earth History.
NOW TO CONCLUDE, ANSWER THE QUESTION.
1. ARE WE ON THE BRINK OF A MASS EXTINCTION? WHAT WOULD BE THE CONSEQUENCES FOR SOCIETY OF LOSING HALF OF ALL SPECIES BY 2100? ARE THERE ACTIONS THAT WE CAN TAKE AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS SOCIETY TO HELP PROTECT LIFE ON EARTH?
The _________________ model proposes that modern humans are the most recent morphological form in a species that has been around for nearly 2 million years.
a. Multiregional Evolution (MRE)
b. Multiple Dispersal (MD)
c. Recent African Origin (RAO)
d. Recent African Origin-HYbrid(RAO-H)

- 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_forwardAdaptive radiation is common following a period of mass extinction, probably because (a) the survivors of a mass extinction are remarkably well adapted to their environment (b) the unchanging environment following a mass extinction drives the evolutionary process (c) many adaptive zones are empty(d) many ecological niches are filled (e) the environment induces changes in the timing of development for many speciesarrow_forwardIs your answer supported by the information from the article “Can Evolution outrace Climate Change”?

- https://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/news/110301_pcbresistantcod (ARTICLE LINK) QUESTIONS: 1. Review the process of natural selection. Use the steps to explain how PCB resistance became so common among tomcod in the Hudson. Be sure to include the terms mutation, fitness, selective pressure, and adaptation in your explanation. 2. In this blog post, the author describes the tomcod as "a quick learner" because of the population's adaptation to PCBs. Is "learning" an accurate way to describe the change in the Hudson River tomcod population? Why or why not? 3. The data shown on the map above support the hypothesis that natural selection for PCB resistance has occurred among tomcod in the Hudson. What sort of evidence regarding gene frequencies in different populations would argue against this hypothesis (i.e., imagine what the scientists would have observed in this study if natural selection on the AHR gene had not occurred among Hudson River tomcod)? 4. Why is it not accurate to…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_forwardAdaptive radiations can be a direct consequence of three of thefollowing four factors.

- Theory 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 the following statement consistent with the provided data? Answer TRUE if the statement is consistent with the data.Answer FALSE if the statement is not consistent with the data. 1. The evolution of freeze tolerance involves some factors that were not shaped directly by natural selection. 2. Because of their freeze tolerance, wood frogs may colonise more of the remainder of the island of Newfoundland than the leopard frog. 3. The distribution of the wood frog and leopard frog supports character displacement as a plausible hypothesis for why they overlap.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between micro- and macroevolution? a. Microevolution describes the evolution of small organisms, such as insects, while macroevolution describes the evolution of large organisms, like people and elephants. b. Microevolution describes the evolution of microscopic entities, such as molecules and proteins, while macroevolution describes the evolution of whole organisms. c. Microevolution describes the evolution of populations, while macroevolution describes the emergence of new species over long periods of time. d. Microevolution describes the evolution of organisms over their lifetimes, while macroevolution describes the evolution of organisms over multiple generations.arrow_forward
- Distinguish between biological extinction and mass extinction. Does every species have the right to survive without human interference, regardless of whether they serve a useful purpose to humans? Explain?arrow_forwardThe 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_forwardQuestion 1: Mass extinction ocurred on the following time and era except for: A. Mesozoic B. Precambrian C. Paleozoic D. Cenozoic E. All of the answers are correct Question 2: Why would Precambrian Time did not have a lot of fossils? A. fossils were destroyed by extreme heat and pressure. B. soft bodied animals do not leave a lot of fossils. C. majority of the fossils during Precambrian time underwent chemical transformation D. paleontologists haven’t recovered much of the remains of ancient organisms. Question 3: Transgenic organisms have also been developed for commercial purposes most importantly in the agricultural sector. Perhaps the most famous examples are food crops like soy and corn that are now highly resistant to various types of pests. These transgenic organisms are commonly produced by: A. addition, deletion of modification of genes B. gene sequences and programming C. inducing genetic mutations D. genetic transformation by bacteria E. identifying chromosomal…arrow_forward
