Chapter 13 HOMEWORK

Green beetles leave more offspring than brown beetles because they are better at finding food

Remember that color is an inherited trait in beetles which of the following is an example of natural selection

False

True or false: in the example described the red amoeba survive the catastrophic event and all future generations of amoebas are red because the red amoebas had a higher reproductive rates than the blue ones

Increased population size

Which of the following events could not be caused by a population bottleneck

It is more vulnerable to extinction due to the lack of genetic variation

Which of the following statements about the amoeba population described at the end of the tutorial is true

Gene flow causes the frequency of the brown allele to increase

Color is an inherited trait in beetles if brown beetles move into a population from a nearby island which of the following statements is correct

The frequency of the green allele will increase

If color is an inherited trait in beetles in birds are more likely to eat brown beetles and green beetles

Has more effect on the evolution of a small population

In a population with brown and green alleles for color genetic drift

Flipper

The wing of a bat is homologus to the _________ of a whale

Genetic drift

The evolution of populations due to chance is
