Chapter 43.1, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? Imagine two populations of a fish species, one in the Mediterranean Sea and one in the Caribbean Sea. Now imagine two scenarios: (1) The populations breed separately, and (2) adults of both populations migrate yearly to the North Atlantic to interbreed. Which scenario would result in a greater loss of genetic diversity if the Mediterranean population were harvested to extinction? Explain your answer.

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)?

The Tibetans and Han Chinese share several genetic traits and DNA. However, the EPAS1 gene, which increases the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen even in low oxygen environments, is only commonly found in the Tibetan population that live in higher elevations. Explain why this gene is only common in Tibetan populations from the perspective of competitive advantage and natural selection. Write your answer in three to five sentences

- The Tibetans and Han Chinese share several genetic traits and DNA. However the EPAS1 gene which increases the ability of red blood cells carry oxygen even in low environments, is only commonly found in the Tibetan population that live in higher elevations. Explain why this gene is commonly in Tibetan populations from the perspective of competitive advantage and natural selection.

When they sampled an area, they found 536 gray squirrels and 64 red squirrels. Assume that the population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. 3A. Show your work to find the number of heterozygous squirrels.arrow_forwardNew Zealand snapper populations were found to be under the influence of genetic drift, suggesting overfishing was still an issue for them, despite the New Zealand fisheries estimating their total population size to be over 3 million. Which of the following is the best explanation for this observation? A) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often only have a few reproductive individuals, therefore their effective population size is actually much smaller than the total population size. B) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often have an equal sex ratio which affects the number of breeding individuals. C) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often have disassortative mating which affects the number of breeding individuals. D) Pelagic fish, like the New Zealand snapper, often have assortative mating which affects the number of breeding individuals.arrow_forward

- Fixity of Species refers to… Group of answer choices A-the theory that species exist at a fixed location along a physiological continuum B-the fact that species are defined by fixed adaptations to their direct environment C-the theory presented by Thomas Malthus that population densities of any given species are most affected by mortality and fertility rates D-the pre-darwinian notion that species, once created, can never change E-the late 19th century concept that because mendelian traits are fixed they are evidence that variation within and between species are designed by God specifically for those speciesarrow_forward(b) Suppose that we want to model the evolution of the population of a cer- tain type of organisms. Observations indicate that if the population drops below a survival level of 10° individuals, it goes extinct. Moreover, the population growth is limited: the available resources of space and food can sustain at most 106 individuals. We treat the population size P(t) as a continuous function of time. (i) Explain briefly how the following model incorporates the above ob- servations: dP — К(А- Р)(Р — В), k>0, dt where P(t) denotes the population size at time t and B 0. dt Find the equilibrium values and determine their stability.

- Q2.16. When heavily armored marine sticklebacks have invaded freshwater lakes where there are no predatory fish, their populations have evolved lighter body armor. Given what you've learned about evolution, which of the following explanations for why this happens is most plausible? O Young sticklebacks only grow heavy armor when they see predatory fish in their environment. O When sticklebacks don't use their armor, it shrinks. Then they pass lighter armor to their offspring. Concentrated pollutants in freshwater lakes disrupt the sticklebacks' ability to grow armor. O Heavily armored fish grow more slowly and breed later, making armor disadvantageous in these lakes.arrow_forwardChoose True for yes and False for no, for each of the statements 1) The distribution of the two species-C populations cannot be explained by two totally independent dispersal events by the common ancestor species of A and B. True or false 2) B must share a more recent common ancestor with C1 than it does with C2. True or falsearrow_forwardConsider two species A and 8, with natural growth rates rA = 2 and re = 4 respectively, and natural carrying capacities MA = 600 and MB = 20, respectively. Suppose the species interact so that e = 0.5 and eg = 0.1. (a) If the species interact according to competition: (Give your answers correct to at least two decimal places.) The interesting equilibrium occurs when A = and B = If the initial populations are A(0) = 2 and B(0) = 1, one of the two species eventually dominates. Which one? O Species A O Species B !3!

(b) If the species interact according to symbiosis: (Give your answers correct to the nearest integer.) The interesting equilibrium occurs when A= and 8- If the initial populations are A(0) - 39 and B(0) = 4, what happens?
