- Sometimes gene flow between populations can have negative effects, with one population receiving genes of lower fitness from another population. Which of the following below is a good case example of this observation? O Tibetian highland people interbreeding with lowland people producing children of intermediate hemoglobin proteins OInterbreeding of Texas and Florida Panthers have greater survivorship than inbred Florida Panthers O Male Townshend Warblers out compete male Hermt Warblers and mate with female Hermit Warblers O Wild steelhead interbreeding with captive steelhead produced offspring with lower relative fitnessColor blindness in humans is caused by an X-linked recessive allele. Ten percent of the males of a large andrandomly mating population are color-blind. A representative group of 1000 people from this population migrates to a South Pacific island, where there are already1000 inhabitants and where 30 percent of the males arecolor-blind. Assuming that Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium applies throughout (in the two original populationsbefore the migration and in the mixed population immediately after the migration), what fraction of malesand females can be expected to be color-blind in the generation immediately after the arrival of the migrants?In a particular population of mice, certain individualsdisplay a phenotype called short tail, which is inherited as a dominant trait. Some individuals display arecessive trait called dilute, which affects coat color.Which of these traits would be easier to eliminatefrom the population by selective breeding? Why?
- Within a population of sunflowers, a new individual has a novel dominant mutation that causes it to flower 4 months earlier than the rest of the population. That sunflower survives and successfully self-fertilizes, leading over time to a novel population that evolves larger leaves and smaller flowers. This new population does not interbreed with the original population, although they are found in the same areas. This is an example of Allopolyploid speciation O Behavioral isolation O Allopatric speciation O Sympatric speciation O Adaptive radiationSnakes evolved from ancestors who had the ability to walk. Some snakes, in fact, still have small pelvis and leg bones that are remnants from this ancestor. What are these caled? Vestiglal structure O Homologous strucre O Sympatric structure O Molecular homology In the 1890s, hunting reduced the northern elephant seal population to only 20 individuals. Due to conservation efforts, their population size today is above 30,000. Of what is this an example? Founder effectWhich of the following is likely to be most important in the evolution of two species from one population of another species? O some kind of barrier that physically divides the original species into two sub-populations a change in the environment such that one sub-population experiences differential natural selection O reduced performance of gametes (e.g., pollen) in crosses between sub-populations O reduced fitness of offspring resulting from crosses between sub-populations genetic divergence and cessation of gene flow between sub-populations
- Two populations of snakes are separated by a river. The snakescross the river only on rare occasions. The snakes in the two populationslook very similar to each other, except that the members ofthe population on the eastern bank of the river have a yellow spoton the top of their head, whereas the members of the western populationhave an orange spot on the top of their head. Discuss twoexperimental methods that you might use to determine whether thetwo populations are members of the same species or members ofdifferent ones.Consider the first copy of an allele for insecticideresistance that arises by mutation in a populationof insects exposed to an insecticide. Is this mutation an adaptation? If, after some generations,we find that most of the population is resistant,is the resistance an adaptation? If we discovergenetic variation for insecticide resistance in apopulation that has had no experience of insecticides, is the variation an adaptation? If an insectpopulation is polymorphic for two alleles, eachof which confers resistance against one of twopesticides that are alternately applied, is thevariation an adaptation? Or is each of the tworesistance traits an adaptation?Most new mutations are detrimental, yet rare beneficial mutations canbe adaptive. With regard to the fate of new mutations, discuss whetheryou think it is more important for natural selection to select againstdetrimental alleles or to select in favor of beneficial ones. Which doyou think is more significant in human populations?
- The original source of new alleles, upon which selection operates,is mutation, a random event that occurs without regard to selectionalvalue in the organism. Although many model organismshave been used to study mutational events in populations, someinvestigators have developed abiotic molecular models. Soll et al.(2006. Genetics 175:267–275) examined one such model to studythe relationship between both deleterious and advantageousmutations and population size in a ligase molecule composed ofRNA (a ribozyme). Soll found that the smaller the population ofmolecules, the more likely it was that not only deleterious mutationsbut also advantageous mutations would disappear. Whywould population size influence the survival of both types ofmutations (deleterious and advantageous) in populations?Which of the following forms of reproductive isolation illustrates a prezygotic barrier to gene flow? O Species A forms hybrids with species B and the hybrids are able to breed back with either of the two parent species to produce healthy fertile offspring. O Two closely related birds, the lazuli bunting and indigo bunting, sing similar songs to attract mates and even though human ears can not distinguish them the females never make wrong choices in choosing who to mate with. O Two species of turtles living in a large lake have different ecological requirements and never interact. O Several species of corrals in a Honduras corral reef release gametes about the same time but inter- specific attraction of gametes does not occur. O All but one of these illustrates a type of prezygotic barrier to gene flow.A group of 50 men and 50 women establish a colony ona remote island. After 50 generations of random mating,how frequent would a recessive trait be if it were at afrequency of 1/500 back on the mainland? The population remains the same size over the 50 generations, andthe trait has no effect on fitness.
