QUESTION 4
-
You are examining a population of snails in their naturally varying habitat (including
parasites ) in the wild. You manipulate the population to include a greater proportion of asexually reproducing individuals, although there a few sexually reproducing individuals still remaining. The parasite populations peaked in abundance in the following year. What would you expect to see in the population after returning a year later?a. There would be only asexually reproducing individuals.
b. There would be more sexually reproducing individuals.
c. There would be no change in abundances from the initial manipulation.
d. There would be an even number of sexually and asexually reproducing individuals.

- The frosted flatwoods salamander (Ambystoma cingulatum)is a threatened species native to southeastern US pineforests. Its native habitat is highly fragmented, and it nowoccurs only in a few small, isolated populations. Comparethe effect of population size on the proportion ofheterozygosity you expect to remain in two differentpopulations of this species:a. What proportion of the original heterozygositywould you expect to remain after 30 generations in apopulation with an effective population size of 164salamanders?b. What proportion of the original heterozygosity would you expect to remain after30 generations in a population with an effective population size of 37 salamanders?

Sex slows down adaptive evolution by disrupting coadapted gene complexes. C. Sex quickens the time it takes for combinations of favorable mutations to arise in the same haplotype. D. Sex can increase the frequency of deleterious mutations.arrow_forwardQUESTION 3 How could you identify a country that was in the postindustrial stage of demographic transition? a. The total population is low. b. Population growth is very rapid. c. There is a high birth rate. d. The birth rate may be lower than the death rate. e. Improved food production leads to drops in birth and death rates. QUESTION 4 Would a country with a high birth rate and a high immigration rate always have a growing population? a. Yes, because births and immigration increase the population size. b. Yes, because birth rate is the most important determinant of population growth rate. c. No, because it may have a low mortality rate. d. No, because it may have a low emigration rate. e. No, because it may also have a high death rate, emigration rate, or both.arrow_forward

Because of this, all surviving whiptail lizards are clones of one another. Which of the following statements is true? I. The absence of sexual reproduction conserves resources and allows the population to thrive better overall. II. The absence of sexual reproduction conserves resources but is detrimental to the long-term survival of the species. III.

- question # 1arrow_forwardYou are examining a population of C. elegans in their natural habitat, a fresh steaming pile of nutrient-rich compost. Predict what you might expect to see in terms of mode of reproduction in the population. a. The population will primarily reproduce asexually then when they run out of nutrient-rich compost. b. The population will have mostly hermaphrodites with a few males. c. The population will have a really high frequency of males compared to lab conditions. d. The population will primarily undergo sexual reproduction.arrow_forward1) Many organisms have the ability to reproduce asexually as well as perform sexual reproduction. A Scientist, John Smith, was conducting research on aphids that can undergo both methods of reproduction. He determined the males in his population had fertilization rate of 1.8 and a relative fitness of outcrossed offspring was 1.1. a) What is the equilibrium frequency of males in this population? b) Is this population stable equilibrium and why?arrow_forward
