Question
Chapter 27.7, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To predict:
In what way the gene flow, genetic drift, and extinction risk would differ between the original and the remnant populations.
Concept introduction:
Gene flow is the transfer of genes or alleles from one population to another.
Genetic drift is the change in allele frequency of a population due to chance events. It is more likely to occur in a small population than a larger population. It decreases the genetic variability of a population.

85. The graph above shows how seed production in a plant
species varied with population density in an unfrag-
mented habitat (site A) and in a fragmented habitat
(site B). Which of the following conclusions is best
supported by the data?
(A) There is no relationship between seed production
and habitat fragmentation.
(B) Seed production is higher in dense populations.
(C) Seed production is lower in dense populations.
(D) Habitat fragmentation has more effect on seed
production than does population density.
(E) Pollinators are either less abundant or less
effective in small populations.

Q10. An ecologist wants to know if diversity in a forest system is likely to decrease when an invasive species
is introduced. This invasive species is a fast-growing annual plant that grows on oak trees and kills them.
The invasive species can only survive on living oak trees. The ecologist has the original model from this lab
and another version of the model which includes transitions that involve the invasive species.
To answer the research question, the ecologist should compare species diversity generated by the original
model to diversity generated by which model described below?
A model in which oak has a positive transition rate to the invasive and the invasive has a positive transition to
grass.
A model in which oak has a positive transition rate to the invasive and the invasive has a positive transition to
oak.
A model in which the invasive has a positive transition rate to oak and oak has a positive transition to grass.

In a community with 200 species, under which conditions would Simpson's diversity index have the highest value? 10 species have very large populations, and 190 species are present but with very small populations. 100 species have about equal population sizes, and 100 species are very rare.

Scenario 3: In the Galapagos islands, a community of plants produced large tough seeds and small soft seeds. Most members of a population of finches are found to have small beaks while a smaller portion of the group have large beaks. The islands experienced a drought that negatively impacted the community of plants that produced small soft seeds leaving the island with plants that produced large tough seeds. After the drought, it was observed that the finches with smaller beaks were reduced and the majority of finches were found to have large beaks.
