1. Describe the four main mechanisms of evolution (mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, natural selection) and how they
operate.
2. Define species. Describe the ways in which new species may arise.
3. Explain how microevolution differs from macroevolution.
1) A. Anteaters have long, sticky tongues that they can extend into holes to reach insects to eat.
Individuals with a genotype for long tongues may have increased fitness due to their ability to reach insects in deeper
holes. This trait could be a result of evolution by.
B. If that is the case, then anteaters with longer tongues should survive and than individuals with shorter tongues.
Long tongues could then be considered a(an)
more
C. The variation between individual anteaters in terms of their tongue lengths and other characteristics is produced by
and recombination of genes during gamete
production and fertilization.
2) The population of elephant seals on the west coast of North America was reduced by hunting to only 20 or so
individuals. The lucky individuals survived by chance rather than the presence of any traits to help them avoid
hunters. Now, there are over 30,000 individuals in the population, but the genetic variation is much lower than you
would typically expect. The loss of genetic diversity is an example of microevolution occurring by
3. Coconuts are buoyant and travel across oceans, being pushed by water currents and the wind. If they arrive on the
shores of an island, they may germinate and grow into reproductive adults.
Movement of coconuts between nearby islands in an archipelago allows genes from coconut palms on one island to
be mixed (via reproduction) with genes from coconut palms on other islands. The movement of genes between
islands means that the islands experience that prevents the trees on individual islands from being reproductively
isolated.
4) As climate change causes glaciers to melt in Greenland and other polar areas, large streams of meltwater form.
Suppose these streams form barriers that prevent ants from crossing from one side to the other, isolating the ants
from the populations on the other side of the streams. If this persists for many years, speciation could occur. What
kind of speciation would this be? Describe how this process would operate.
5) The wildfires in California are killing millions of organisms including birds, squirrels, insects and other animals. If
the frequency of traits in these populations changes as a result of the deaths from the fire, two possible mechanisms
of evolution could be at work. Name the two possible mechanisms and describe how each would be operating in this
scenario.

1- Describe the four main mechanisms of evolution (mutation- genetic d.docx

  • 1. 1. Describe the four main mechanisms of evolution (mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, natural selection) and how they operate. 2. Define species. Describe the ways in which new species may arise. 3. Explain how microevolution differs from macroevolution. 1) A. Anteaters have long, sticky tongues that they can extend into holes to reach insects to eat. Individuals with a genotype for long tongues may have increased fitness due to their ability to reach insects in deeper holes. This trait could be a result of evolution by. B. If that is the case, then anteaters with longer tongues should survive and than individuals with shorter tongues. Long tongues could then be considered a(an) more C. The variation between individual anteaters in terms of their tongue lengths and other characteristics is produced by and recombination of genes during gamete production and fertilization. 2) The population of elephant seals on the west coast of North America was reduced by hunting to only 20 or so individuals. The lucky individuals survived by chance rather than the presence of any traits to help them avoid hunters. Now, there are over 30,000 individuals in the population, but the genetic variation is much lower than you would typically expect. The loss of genetic diversity is an example of microevolution occurring by 3. Coconuts are buoyant and travel across oceans, being pushed by water currents and the wind. If they arrive on the shores of an island, they may germinate and grow into reproductive adults. Movement of coconuts between nearby islands in an archipelago allows genes from coconut palms on one island to be mixed (via reproduction) with genes from coconut palms on other islands. The movement of genes between islands means that the islands experience that prevents the trees on individual islands from being reproductively isolated. 4) As climate change causes glaciers to melt in Greenland and other polar areas, large streams of meltwater form. Suppose these streams form barriers that prevent ants from crossing from one side to the other, isolating the ants from the populations on the other side of the streams. If this persists for many years, speciation could occur. What kind of speciation would this be? Describe how this process would operate. 5) The wildfires in California are killing millions of organisms including birds, squirrels, insects and other animals. If the frequency of traits in these populations changes as a result of the deaths from the fire, two possible mechanisms of evolution could be at work. Name the two possible mechanisms and describe how each would be operating in this scenario.
