1Which of these is NOT true in regards to Neo-Darwinism?
- AAmple genetic variation arises and is contained in
populations. - BEvolution in populations is influenced by natural
selection and is characterised by changes in gene
frequencies. - CAdaptive genetic variation produces small stepwise
changes in phenotypes, which accumulate
gradually over long periods of time. - DThe divergence of geographical isolated
populations is unimpeded and gradually leads to
speciation. - EThe gradual accumulation of genetic differences,
via natural selection, results in new genera and
families of organisms (macroevolution). - FThis hypothesis predicts that over generations a freely
mating population will give rise to a uniform population
of individuals.
- AAmple genetic variation arises and is contained in
2What term are these definitions defining?
[blank_start]Evolution[blank_end] – changes in allele frequencies in a
population.
[blank_start]Population[blank_end] – a group of individuals of the same
species that live in the same area and interbreed.
[blank_start]Gene pool[blank_end] – is the sum of all the alleles of all genes
of all individuals in the population.- AEvolution
- BPopulation
- CGene pool
3If only one allele exists at a particular locus or gene in
a population, the allele is said to be fixed.- ARichtig
- BFalsch
4If there are two or more alleles for a gene in a
population, individuals will be either homozygous or
heterozygous.- ARichtig
- BFalsch
5Which of these are TRUE, with respect to the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?
- APopulation genetics defines evolution as changes in
allele frequencies. - BIn a population that is not evolving, allele and
genotype frequencies will remain constant from one
generation to the next. - CA non-changing population is said to be in Hardy-Weinberg
equilibrium. - DThe Hardy-Weinberg equation allows us to calculate
the expected genotype frequencies given the
observed allele frequencies.
- APopulation genetics defines evolution as changes in
6Match the condition for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with its definition.
1. [blank_start]No mutations[blank_end]. The gene pool is modified if mutations change alleles.
2. [blank_start]Mating occurs at random[blank_end]. If individuals mate with a subset of the population, genotype frequencies change.
3. [blank_start]No natural selection[blank_end]. Differences in survival and reproduction of individuals with different genotypes can alter allele frequencies.
4. [blank_start]Extremely large population size[blank_end]. The smaller the population, the more likely that allele frequencies will fluctuate by change.
5. [blank_start]No gene flow[blank_end]. Movement of individuals (alleles) in and out of a population can alter allele frequencies.- ANo mutations
- BMating occurs at random
- CNo natural selection
- DExtremely large population size
- ENo gene flow
- FNo genetic variation
