n your own words, how does Inheritance support natural selection? Use at least 1 example from the Beaks of Finches lab in your answer.

Imagine that researchers are studying 2 populations of a hypothetical flowering plant, Darwinius beardii. Individual plants of population "A" grow to an average height of 25 cm, while those of population "B" average 40 cm. The flowers of population "A" are light purple and open in mid-April, while those of population "B" are dark purple with white spots and open in early May. These 2 populations are geographically separated by a large river, and geological and molecular genetic evidence suggests that they have been separated for at least 10 million years, during which time evolutionary divergence has occured. Yet, when individuals from each population are brought into the lab, they readily mate with individuals of the other population. Under which species concept(s) would the plants of the 2 populations be considered 2 different species? O A. Biological species concept O B. Phenetic species concept O C. Phylogenetic species concept O D. both the Phenetic and Phylogenetic species…

You are performing a series of experiments on fruit flies.  You have a true breeding population of flies with red eyes, and a true breeding population of white eyes.  You breed the population of flies to each other to get an F1 generation.  In this F1 generation, 75% of the flies have Red eyes, 25% of the flies have white eyes.   All the female flies have red eyes, half of the male flies have white eyes and the other half have red eyes. A statistically significant number of baby flies were produced in this cross. 1) What is that number? 2) What is the genotype ratio of the F1 generation?  Give the genotypes.

Read in the Introduction about the three kinds of natural selection: directional, stabilizing, and disruptive. In Procedure 9.1, the phenotype we are considering is size. Which one of these types of natural selection do you expect to see if your answer to question 1 above is correct? Explain.

Which of the following statements about the studies on Darwin's finches conducted by Rosemary Grant and Peter Grant since the 1970s is correct?     -For the trait of beak depth, there are clear differences among individuals on the island Daphne Major.     -After comparing measurements of beak depth between parents and offspring across many families, they found that similarity in beak depth is mainly due to genetic inheritance.     -After the 1977 drought, it was found that the average beak depth of the population has increased when compared to the population average before the drought.     -The study of Darwinâ s finches is often used as an example of natural selection in the field.     -All of the above

Artificial selection is when people selectively choose individuals with a certain desired trait to use as parents of the next generation. It is done to domesticated (or semi-domesticated) organisms. It has produced such monstrosities as bubble-eyed goldfish, revealing the potential for selection acting on heritable variation to produce varieties appearing very different than their ancestors. How is that different from natural selection? (Select all that apply) A- In artificial selection, humans directly cause new mutations to occur, whereas natural selection relies on mutations that occur randomly over time. B- Artificial selection can lead to organisms that would be unfit to survive in the wild, whereas natural selection usually makes the population better adapted. C- Artificial selection is directed ahead of time towards an intentional goal; not so with natural selection. D- Really, they are exactly the same process. Both cause what seems to be design without a designer. E-…
