Question
Imagine a scenario where you are male and have a triangular head. For some reason, females in your area find triangular heads very attractive, so guys with triangular heads mate and reproduce more than other men. Eventually, all the non-triangular-headed people die out and the whole population of people in your area has triangular heads. This is an example of what?

I environmental change II differential survival and reproduction III heritability of phenotypic variation IV variation in phenotype V sexual reproduction Question options: II, III, IV III, IV, V II, IV, V I, II, IV II, III, Varrow_forwardAll the genetic variation seen in the human population, passed from generation to generation, arose from mutations that occurred in.. O Somatic (body) cells Reproductive cells (eggs and sperm)arrow_forward
- What is the source of new alleles within a population? mutation sexual reproduction independent assortment natural selectionarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is an evolutionary advantage of sex and sexual reproduction? A. Sex and recombination results in decreased genetic variation in a population and maintains advantageous traits. B. Sex and recombination can bring beneficial alleles together when producing offspring. C. Sex and recombination results in the inheritance of all the genetic information available from both parents. D. Reproduction is less risky when gametes from two individuals must fuse.arrow_forwardI need help with a biology question: Sometimes a restriction in genetic variability is imposed on populations by natural catastrophes such as flooding, earthquake, etc. The surviving individuals reflect only a small, random genetic sample of the population affected. This process is termed sudden mutation the founder effect non random mating gene flowarrow_forward
- In which population is evolution by natural selection most clearly demonstrated? Group of answer choices A virus sweeps through a population and makes everyone ill. A virus sweeps through a population and kills 10% of infants. It is not clear why some die and some don't. A virus sweeps through a population and kills 20% of the population. It is not clear why some die and some don't. A virus sweeps through a population and permanently sterilizes the 10% of the population that has allele hx25c.arrow_forwardHow have scientists started to study relationships between different groups of organisms? By watching how the different organisms interact with each other By studying how they mate By using genetic analyses By studying the organisms in their natural habitatarrow_forwardWhat force, which changes gene frequencies, occurs if there is a failure to reproduce or if individuals become isolated from the rest of their population? mutation radiation genetic drift nonrandom matingarrow_forward
- Dog breeders use selective breeding, also called artificial selection, to maintain a closed genetic lineage, and produce offspring with desirable traits. This violates which Hardy-Weinberg condition? a reproduction b no mutation c random mating d no natural selectionarrow_forwardIn humans, mammals and many other chordates sexual reproduction takes place by fusion of large immobile ovum and small motile sperm. This kind of sexual reproduction is: Select one: a. Isogamy b. Schizogony c. Oogamy d. Conjugation e. Polytenyarrow_forward
