Human Evolution

Human evolution is the process of evolution of humans from early man to anatomically modern humans. The process of evolution in humans leads to the gradual development of traits like bipedalism. Humans are the highly social animals that make them the most advanced animal on Earth. Human evolution is an outcome of interaction among the following processes:

Question

Hello, I need help answering 3.a, b, & c questions. Pls and thank you!

3.A) If Hardy-Weinberg conditions apply to a population, then:

a.) natural selection is present

b.) limited immigration or emigration is present

c.) assortive mating is present

d.) population size is very large-effectively infinite.

B.) A selective sweep happens when:

a.) a new mutation increases rapidly toward fixation

b.) selectin acts on standing genetic variation

c.) no linkage disequilibrium results

d.) fitness trade-offs exist

C.) Fitness components include all the following except:

a.) frequency of new mutations

b.) probability of getting a mate

c.) survival to adulthood

d.) fecundity

Definition Definition Genetic variation refers to the differences in DNA sequence among individuals of the same species. These variations can occur due to mutations, genetic recombination, and natural selection. Genetic variation plays an important role in evolution, as it allows for the selection of traits that enhance the survival and reproduction of organisms in changing environments.

T / F: Synonymous and non-synonymous mutations mainly evolve via purifying natural selection. B.) T / F: Stabilizing selection acts on the phenotypic variance of a trait without necessarily changing the mean phenotype. C.) T / F: Founder effects are the result of a genetic bottleneck during colonization of a new location.
Hello, I need help answering 3.a, b, & c questions. Pls and thank you 3. A.) Study of mutations reveals that: a.) mutations that lead to shortened proteins often have high negative selection coefficients b.) most mutations that affect fitnes are synonymous mutations c.) most non-synonymous mutations have positive selection coefficients d.) mutations that have major effects on the phenotype are the most common. B.) Natural selection during the final stage of allopatric speciation can cause: a.) increased post-zygotic isolation in a hybrid zone b.) more gene flow to form a "hybrid swarm" c.) increased pre-zygotic isolation in a hybrid zone d.) negative assortive mating C.) Human hunting of wild animals, such as deer or bighorn sheep, usually: a.) leads to evolution in the same direction as that favored by natural selection in the non-hunted populations b.) causes males to have more extreme sexual characters (such as horn size) c.) creates artificial selection in a direction that…
25) What was a major gap in evolutionary theory when Darwin published "The origin of species by natural selection"? A) We did not know what might cause competition between individuals of the same species B) We did not know that microscopic organisms exist C) We did not know about dinosaurs D) We did not know how traits could be inherited, or how new traits might arise in a population 26) In the late 1800s, the saltation hypothesis (hopeful monster hypothesis) was proposed as a way to explain how speciation happens. Why was this hypothesis ultimately rejected by “the new synthesis"? A) Because it was silly B) Because we discovered the DNA nature of genes C) Because it could not explain where mutations came from D) Because it required individuals to evolve rather than populations
Question- How is genetic drift different from natural selection? choose one from below 1. Natural selection occurs because some alleles confer higher fitness, whereas genetic drift occurs because of sampling error 2. natural selection has a stronger effect in large populations, whereas genetic drift acts primarily in small populations 3. natural selection is a mechanisms of evolution, whereas genetic drift is not a mechanisms but an outcome of evolution 4. natural selection tends to cause very rapid evolution, whereas genetic drift tends to operate on much longer time scales.
Hello, I need help answering number 34(INCLUDING THE SUB-PARTS) true or false questions. Pls and thank you! 34. A.) T / F: Both negative frequency-dependent selection and positive frequency-dependent selection act to maintain genetic polymorphism. B.) T / F: The mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous caused the extinction of all non-avian dinosaurs. C.) T / F: Natural selection can occur without any evolution in the next generation if individual differences in the trait are not heritable.
Which term is used to describe the continued divergence of species based on the low fitness of hybrid offspring? reinforcement fusion stability punctuated equilibrium
12. Which can bring new traits to a population and why? 1. natural selection - because it increases the frequency of adaptive alleles in a population over time 2. natural selection and mutation because both increase the frequency of adaptive alleles in a population over time 3. mutation - because it increases the frequency of adaptive alleles in a population over time 4. natural selection and mutation because both make new alleles 5. natural selection - because it makes new alleles 6. mutation - because it makes new alleles
Is natural selection random with respect to fitness? I know that genetic drift, gene flow and mutations are random with respect to fitness, but I wasn’t sure about natural selection. Thanks for your help.
Hello, I need help answering number 20(including the sub-parts). Pls and thank you 20. A.)T / F Both negative frequency-dependent selection and positive frequency-dependent selection act to maintain genetic polymorphism. B.)

Hello, I need help answering 5c & 5d using the phylogeny below(letter (A) graph to the left). Pls and thank you! a) In the 1990s, when only mitochondrial DNA sequencing was available, geneticists claimed that there was no hybridization between humans (Homo sapiens) and Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis). Does the phylogeny shown above support the claim humans did not hybridize with Neanderthals in the past? How can you tell? b) Once nuclear DNA sequencing became fast and able to handle sequencing ancient DNA, living humans were found to have some Neanderthal genes. Is this finding clear evidence that some early modern humans did indeed hybridize with Neanderthals? Why? c) Did female H. sapiens hybridize with Neanderthal males to produce fertile offspring that then back-crossed with modern humans? What does the graph say about this? d) Did male H. sapiens hybridize with Neanderthal females that then back-crossed with modern humans? What does the graph say about this?…

T / F - The first enzymes that evolved on earth were probably ribozymes (RNA that has catalytic functions). C.) T / F - The “Cambrian explosion” involved a great diversification of animal body plans that also included primitive chordates.
