- The culturally constructed concept of “race” holds little value in scientific biological contexts because... Group of answer choices cultural explanations of human variation do not withstand the scientific method there is more genetic variation within groups than between them of the dichotomy between biological and cultural perspectives of race there is no such thing as race race has been continuously used to oppress categorized groupsarrow_forwardAccording to the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1, within 5% variation of 1) which of the genes in the following three populations is actively undergoing evolution? population 1: AA = 80%; Aa = 10%; aa = 10% population 2: AA = 55%; Aa = 35%; aa = 10% population 3: AA = 25%; Aa = 50%; aa = 25% the gene in populations 1 and 3 are undergoing evolution the gene in populations 1, 2, and 3 are undergoing evolution the gene only in population 1 is undergoing evolution the gene in none of the populations are undergoing evolutionarrow_forwardPlease answer fast I will rate for you sure....arrow_forward
- One of the dangers faced by a bottlenecked population is: Loss of genetic diversity and increased inbreeding Random changes in allele frequencies Gene flow Too much genetic diversityarrow_forwardAnswer the following multiple-choice questions: 1) Which of the following DOES NOT alter a population’s genetic composition? random mating natural selection Inbreeding Gene flow from migration Genetic drift 2) If a new species of frog were discovered, which of the following characteristics would be BEST for determining its systematic relationship with other amphibians. The DNA sequence of its mitochondrial genes The diploid number of its chromosomes The number of eggs produced by the females The adult body size of the males The type of habitat in which it lives. 3) Which pair of anatomical structures is alike because of shared ancestry? flipper of a dolphin v. the pectoral fin of a shark wing of a bird v. wing of a butterfly flipper of a dolphin v. the wing of a bat shell of an oyster v. shell of a turtle tusks of an elephant v. horns of a bull. 4) Which of the following does NOT increase the amount of genetic variability? fertilization during sexual…arrow_forwardBelow is a histogram showing the results from a previous class’s dataset. Some trials resulted (ended) with the white allele fixing (reaching 100%), some resulted with the white allele going extinct (0%), and some fell somewhere in between.

Can you explain why?arrow_forwardWhat is the role of variation in evolution If heterozygosity is reduced what happens to the potential for evolution? The phenotype and genotype of a population is due to a mosaic of random and directed processes some of these have to do with history.some are related to adaptation etc. As completely as possible,discuss the role of chance and direction in evolution and in determining the phenotype of a populationarrow_forward
