Textbook Question
Chapter 23.3, Problem 3CC
WH AT IF? → Suppose two plant populations exchange pollen and seeds. In one population, individuals of geno-type AA are most common (9.000 AA. 900 Aa. 100 aa), while the opposite is true in the other population (100 AA, 900 Aa, 9.000 aa). If neither allele has a selective advantage, what will happen over time to the allele and genotype frequencies of these populations?

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.)
Q: In a certain species of plants, violet flower color (V) is dominant over white flower color (v). If p = 0.4 and q = 0.6 in a population of 500 plants,
I want you to explain why red is wrong and highlighted is right.
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.

- Please Help! Q1) Butterflies in Africa (species 1) pollinate just one species of flower with a short corolla reducing the variation in the length of the tongue of its pollinators. Butterflies in Europe (species 2) have variable lengths as they pollinate several different species of flowers. What is the mechanism shaping the length of the tongue in species 1?______ Q2) A variation on what morphological trait made the difference between life and death among all surviving finches in the draught of 1977? (one-word answer)arrow_forwardKingma et al. (2011) found that in the purple-crowned fairy-wren, most subordinate helpers at the nest feed full siblings or half siblings, but some helpers are unrelated to the nestlings they assist. What Darwinian puzzle is created by these findings, and how might you solve the puzzle by using inclusive fitness theory? What predictions follow from the explanation(s) that you propose?arrow_forwardTake a look at an adaptable landscape with several fitness peaks. Why does a population of, say, a virus like SARS-Cov2 never evolve the best phenotype for a particular environment? Under what conditions may a population transition from one local fitness maximum to another?arrow_forward
- Try to outline a scenario explaining the evolution of the three species shown in panel g. Use migration, mutation, genetic drift, selection, reproductive isolation, gene flow, extinction, and many generations in your scenario. Based on your scenario, what are the components that are necessary in a population in order for it to split or diverge into two new daughter species from a single ancestor (the parent species)?arrow_forwardHow does gene flow affect coevolution? For example, there is a coevolutionary arms race between snakes and newts. Snakes try to eat newts but they end up dying due to the newts' proudction of a toxin (TTX). In response, snakes have adapted a greater resistance to the toxin allowing them to not die. What would the factor of gene flow do to a population like this??arrow_forwardUsing the netlogo run the sheep-wolves-grass model variation, but set INITIAL-NUMBER-WOLVES to 0. This gives a stable ecosystem with only sheep and grass. Why might this be stable while the variation with only sheep and wolves is not?arrow_forward
- INTERPRET DATA The genotype frequencies of a population are determined to be 0.6 BB. 0.0 Bb, and 0.4 bb. Is it likely that this population meets all the conditions required for genetic equilibrium?arrow_forwardWHAT IF? Imagine two populations of a fish species,one in the Mediterranean Sea and one in the CaribbeanSea. Now imagine two scenarios: (1) The populationsbreed separately, and (2) adults of both populationsmigrate yearly to the North Atlantic to interbreed. Whichscenario would result in a greater loss of genetic diversityif the Mediterranean population were harvestedto extinction? Explain your answer.arrow_forward. WHAT IF? Do speciation rates in closely related cladesof flowering plants show that flower shape is correlatedwith the rate at which new species form or that flowershape is responsible for this rate? Explain.arrow_forward
- WHAT IF? Consider two species that diverged whilegeographically separated but resumed contact beforereproductive isolation was complete. Predict the outcome over time if the two species mated indiscriminately and (a) hybrid offspring survived and reproducedmore poorly than offspring from intraspecific matingsor (b) hybrid offspring survived and reproduced as wellas offspring from intraspecific matings.arrow_forwardQ1: Within which category are individuals most closely related to one another? Q2: Within which category are individual species most distantly related? Q3: Are individual species more closely related within the same order or within the same family?arrow_forwardWHAT IF? Suppose two bird species live in a forestand are not known to interbreed. One species feeds andmates in the treetops and the other on the ground. Butin captivity, the birds can interbreed and produce viable,fertile offspring. What type of reproductive barrier mostlikely keeps these species separate in nature? Explain.arrow_forward
