Question
Chapter 24.2, Problem 3EQ
Summary Introduction
To determine The analysis of the research performed by Podos, in support of the original hypothesis.
Introduction: Podos worked on Darwin's finches to evaluate the effect of the bird’s song on the mating patterns. He observed the effect of certain parameters on the reproductive physiology of the birds on the Galápagos Islands
Summary Introduction
To determine: The meaning of the phrase “by-product of adaptation” and its application in Podos’s study.
Introduction: The study performed by Podos on Darwin finches present in Galápagos islands concluded that the alterations in the beak morphology led to the change in the feeding habit as well as the song production required for mating.

(b) What genetic conditions within a given mitochondrion are likely to contribute to such a variable pool of mitochondria?
How did Spiegelman et al.' s experiments in 1967 & 1970 on the origins of natural selection provide evidence for natural selection in an RNA-based world?
A) The starting RNA strand was originally ~4,000 nucleotides; after several serial transfers it was reduced to ~200 nucleotides as a result of faster replication of shorter sequences being advantageous and selected for.
B) The starting RNA strand was originally ~4,000; after several serial transfers and the introduction of additional RNA molecules it increased to ~20,000 nucleotides as a result of hybridization with the longer RNA molecules having outcompeted shorter RNA strands.
C) The RNA remained at approximately is original sequence of ~4,000 nucleotides, demonstrating fitness in a stable environment.
D) These experiments did not demonstrate natural selection.

Jessica’s final year project deals with the metagenomic studies of anfH homologous genes from freshwater lake samples in Kampar Eastlake. She successfully cloned and sequenced two partial anfH homologous gene sequences.BlastX analyses revealed that one of the DNA sequences showed highestsimilarity to AnfH protein from a Brazilian soil bacteria isolate while the second sequence showed highest identity to the AnfH protein sequence of a bacterium that was isolated from Tonle Sap, a freshwater lake in Cambodia. To determine their evolutionary relationship, she subsequently constructed a phylogenetic tree using the corresponding protein sequences.
