Humans in the 21st century use their thumbs extensively to operate touchscreens on cellphones. Imagine a scenario, where the human population evolves to have more dexterous thumbs over the next 300 years. Which of the following is a Lamarckian explanation for this evolutionary change (and, therefore, would an incorrect evolutionary mechanism?)
humans that develop more dexterity in their thumb over their lifetime due to frequent use of cellphones pass that ability to their children
humans that were born with a mutation for more dexterous thumbs have more children
thumb dexterity is a dominant trait
Use examples associated with the malaria parasite, Plasmodium, to illustrate why an understanding of evolution is indispensable to modern medical research. (Hint: Be sure to include serial endosymbiosis and drug resistance in your answer.)
Many pathogenic bacteria have become resistent to antibiotics.
a) Explain how Lamarck would explain this event.
b) Explain how Darwin would explain this this event.

- What Have I Learned So Far? Write True if the statement is true. If false, change the underlined word or phrase to make the statement true. 1. Charles Darwin coined the term “survival of the fittest." Fossils can be used in determining the remains of ancient organisms. 2. 3. Geology is the study of the distribution of plants and animals on Earth. 4. Lamarck proposed the theory of use and disuse. 5. Genetic mutation accounts for evidence of evolution. 6. The theory of acquired characteristics is the concept of Wallace. 7. Vestigial organs are structures that have a particular use before but have no particular purpose for existing animals. 8. The similarities of the embryos of vertebrates indicate a common ancestral domain among them. Biochemical evidence does not provide a solid proof of evolution. 9. 10. Anatomy of animals can be used as evidence of evolution Biodiversity and Systematics: Evolutionary Relationships 179arrow_forwardA cladogram shows the evolutionary relationship between humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas. The cladogram currently shows humans and chimpanzees with a more recent common ancestor compared to gorillas. Which piece of evidence, if true, would most likely weaken this hypothesis? Amino acid analysis of the cytochrome shows significant differences in the sequence of amino acids between humans and goriffas. DNA sequence analysis of the hemoglobin alpha gene shows that humans and chimpanzees have a more similar sequence to each other than they do to the gorilla's DNA sequence. The cells of the eye in embryos of gorillas and humans follow a similar pattern of development chimpanzee embryos are different Fossils of humans appear in deeper sedimentary rock layers compared to fossils of chimpanzees.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements accurately describes what we learned about HIV evolution? a. HIV is more deadly in Northern Europe, but more transmissible in Africa. That is why there are more individuals infected with the illness in Africa. b. HIV shares a most recently common ancestor with Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) such that SIV evolved as it host-switched from chimpanzees and gorillas into humans multiple times. c. Drug development is exceedingly difficult because there are very few drug targets for HIV and AZT (a reverse transcriptase inhibitor) alone is the single most effective treatment for HIV. d. Evolution of HIV virions within a person is quite slow such that a blood draw after 1 year of infection would reveal that every single virion would have the exact same sequence.arrow_forward
- A bacterial infection by M.tuberculosis causes the disease tuberculosis (TB). Explain the meaning of drug resistance in tuberculosis. Did natural selection occur in the drug resistant population. Explain!arrow_forwardClimate change causes problems for organisms that have adapted to their environments. Please list two problems that climate change could cause which would prevent organisms from surviving in an environment to which they are well adapted.arrow_forwardThe prefrontal lobotomy was widely used in the 1940s and 1950s. It was based on observations of one chimpanzee, whose behavior changed after receiving bilateral lesions to her prefrontal lobe. Largely on this evidence, doctors performed prefrontal lobotomies on human patients who suffered from psychiatric disorders to calm them down. There were side effects and this therapy often did not provide the expected benefits for the patients. What was wrong with the progression from a few primates to widespread use in humans? What questions should have been asked before the technique was used in people?arrow_forward

Question: Domestic dogs would least likely meet the definition of a single species using which concept? Group of answer choices A) Lineage B) Biological C) Morphological D) Domestic dogs are not a single species according to any of the species concept definitions.arrow_forwardYou are discussing the choice of the “oil-eating” bacteria that you will use to clean the affected area from the oil spill and your team wants to know whether the Kalba sea constitutes a natural habitat for these bacteria. Formulate a hypothesis stating why or why not the Kalba sea area can be considered a natural habitat for such bacteria. Support your answer by discussing the role of evolution in contributing to the survival and thriving of “oil-eating” bacteria. Explain how and why these bacteria acquired these characteristicsarrow_forwardConsider figure 22.4. The following statements are true. Choose all applicable options. a) According to Lamarck, some fish species had to develop legs so that they could walk on land. This feature was passed on to the next generation. b) According to Darwin and Wallace’s model, the fish species improved by acquiring legs that permit walking on land. c) According to Lamarck, all the shown species were created independently and do not change over time. d) Darwin and Wallace proposed that some individual fish changed overtime to achieve higher fitness. Such improved features were passed on to the next generation.arrow_forward
- Consider the figure attached. A student in a course on intelligent design theory claims that the graph in part (a) shows that losing the ability to respire actually is adaptive for yeast cells living in small populations. Please read the incomplete sentence that appears immediately below, assess as possible completions the lowercase-Roman-numeral-labelled statements that follow, and click each uppercase-letter-labelled response that is presented below and completes accurately the sentence. An astute student in an evolution course would respond that i. the graph in part (a) shows that selection among mitochondria within yeast cells can lead to fixation for traits that decrease mean fitness for that yeast population. ii. the student in the course on intelligent design is wrong; the yeast cells in the small population group retained completely the ability to respire, as they otherwise would have been unable to harvest energy. iii. a property (e.g., inability to respire) that is…arrow_forward1) According to the endosymbiotic theory of the origin of chloroplasts, photosynthetic prokaryotic cells________? 2) The tremendous increase in the diversity of animals beginning about 542 million years ago is called the______? 3) Two completely unrelated species that are found in the same environment are observed to have the same adaptation.
