Your descendants have fortunately inherited your fascination with rodent genetics. Fifty thousand years after the original volcanic eruption, your descendants return to the island where the two populations are still separated. They repeat the same experiments that you carried out. Their data indicate there is no reproductive isolation between members of A1 and A2. DNA sequences from randomly chosen individuals from the two populations are shown here – A1 ATAAGA A1 ACAAGA A1 ACATGA A2 TCATTT A2 TCATTG A2 TCATTT A)Name one mechanism by which differences between A1 and A2 became fixed in the two populations (not how the differences arose in the first place).

The tiny frog Paedophryne amauensis was discovered by researchers purposefully searching for the source of an unusual sound, but sometimes similarity between two species can lead scientists to accidental discoveries. A previously unknown species of wild cat was inadvertently discovered by researchers who were sequencing the DNA of a house cat–sized South American wild cat called the tigrina. The DNA analysis revealed that many alleles found in the supposed tigrinas living in northeastern Brazil are not shared with other tigrinas. This finding suggested that the northeastern cats do not interbreed with other tigrinas and are therefore a different species. What prevents the two species from interbreeding?

Humans carry a variety of non-functional genetic sequences, called processed pseudogenes, in their DNA. we can estimate how long ago these sequences first appeared in the genomes of our ancestors. In humans, processed pseudogenes include the three options below which would be the least widespread among other primate species a. alpha-enolase psi1 (11 million years old) b. AS PSI 7 (16 million years old) c. CALM II PSI3 (36 million years old)
Advances in biotechnology have revolutionized the study of ancient remains. In Ötzi's case, a genetic study showed that his DNA most closely matched up with people that currently live in Sardinia. One hypothesis for this is that at Ötzi's time, a group of people with similar DNA spread throughout Europe including Sardinia. Sardinia is somewhat isolated so the DNA of the population living there has changed very little since that time. On mainland Europe, where his remains were found, there was more mixing of populations so there have been changes to the DNA profiles of the people living in that region. Questions: 1.) Based on the genetic results, do you think Ötzi should be considered Sardinian even though he lived in the Alps? Why or why not?

Which of the following best explains the number of similarities between the amino acid sequences of the Drosophila Hedgehog protein and the Chicken Indian Hedgehog protein? O A. The Drosophila hedgehog gene evolved from hedgehogs, which are distantly related to birds. O B. Both genes evolved from a gene present in the last common ancestor of Drosphila and chickens, and the number of differences reflects the amount of time that has elapsed during the evolution of these two lineages. a During the evolution of Drosophila and chickens, a hedgehog like gene arose independently in each lineage, then the gene that arose in chickens diversified. A These genes are unrelated, and the fact that they are similar is only because the proteins need to have similar biochemical properties. They are unrelated because chickens don't have segments and Drosophila larvae don't have limb buds.

An experiment has been initiated in a laboratory where recombinant DNA technology has been used to substitute the gene responsible for change of colour in chameleon with another gene responsible for “glowin-the-dark”. If this experiment is successful, chameleons carrying the “glow-in-the-dark” gene will not be able to change their colours any longer. Discuss the implication of these results in terms of ethics and conservation biology.
A group of researchers are trying to determine the relationship between various groups of organisms. The researchers analyze the amino acid sequence of the protein cytochrome c in various groups of organisms. Once they sequence cytochrome c in all organisms, they determine the number of amino acid substitutions in each group. The results can be seen in the graph below, which plots the data with respect to the time since the divergence of the members of paired groups from a common ancestor. A B mammals and reptiles с Number of Amino Acid Substitutions (per 100 amino acids) in Cytochrome, c D 60- 50+ 40+ 30- 20+ 10+ 0 0 O birds and reptiles A graph showing when various groups of organisms diverged from a common ancestor Based on the graph above, can you conclude which of the following organisms are most distantly related? 200 400 600 800 1,000 Time Since Divergence from a Common Ancestor (millions of years) fish and land vertebrates mammals and reptiles birds and mammals insects and…
The Out of Africa hypothesis (also called the African Replacement hypothesis) proposes that Homo sapiens arose in Africa and evolved there for several hundred thousand years. Then, some 85,000 years ago, a small band of Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa and populated the remainder of the world. Based on this hypothesis, what predictions would you make about worldwide human variation in mtDNA?
