Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.

Write a short explanatory essay on the following statement: “Incases of genetically programmed phenotypic plasticity, naturalselection acts on the norm of reaction. Thus the norm of reactionas a whole—rather than any one phenotype—determines ifselection is positive or negative.”
Students in a genetics laboratory began an experiment in an attempt to increase heat tolerance in two strains of Drosophila melanogaster. One strain was trapped from the wild six weeks before the experiment was to begin; the other was obtained from a Drosophila repository at a university laboratory. In which strain would you expect to see the most rapid and extensive response to heat-tolerance selection, and why?
What is meant by the genetic conflict hypothesis?
In 1956, Peter Buri, who at the time was at the State University of Iowa, published a study he conducted using Drosophila melanogaster. The title of his paper is called Gene frequency in small populations of mutant Drosophila. In this study, he tracked allele frequency changes of two alleles, bw and bw75. Which of the following statements about this study is correct? In this study, he demonstrated that it is impossible to tell whether the bw or bw75 allele will be extinct in any given population. This study is an example of evolution by natural selection. Both of the above
