Natural selection acts on individual but only population evolve true or false
Which factor is not required for natural selection to occur? variation within a population inheritance of traits selective pressure an anticipated change in the environment genetic differences
What must be present in a population for natural selection to act on? Abundant resources A large population size Genetic variation
Another way to say "Natural Selection" is: differential success in reproduction mutation selective breeding differential access to mating partners variation O preferential sex choices
AFTER malaria is cured, the frequency of the HbS allele should decrease in regions with a lot of mosquitoes because: - people will no longer die from sickle cell disease in these regions - having one copy of the HbS allele will no longer be advantageous in these regions - Natural selection will no longer act on the HbS allele at all in these regions - All alleles associated with genetic diseases eventually disappear
Fred and George are arguing over evolution. Fred posits that evolution can occur in any population as long as all members gradually undergo change. George disagrees; he thinks that individual memebers of the population do not change but instead have offspring with the trait(s) of interest and thus a population evolves over generations. Who is right? Choose the best answe a. Fred is right! As members of the population respond to the environment, they change to suit it better O b. Fred is right! All memebers of the population must change aroudn the same time O c. George is right Evolution occurs over generations as only the beneficial traits are passed onto the next generation. O d. George is right! Individuals don't change their alleles, but the offspring they have contributes to the change in population allele frequencies
