There is a population of fish in a pond. There are small, medium, and large males. The males need to battle for rights to breed. While the large males are battling, the small males are able to sneak in. The medium males are too small to fight and too big to be sneaky. The extreme traits are selected for while the middle trait dies off.
This is an example of:
A. Disruptive B. Stabilizing
C. Directional C. Natural
A. Disruptive
The ability of an organism to survive, or fit, in its environment.
A. Natural Selection B. Darwinism
C. Habitat D. Fitness
D. Fitness
What kind of genetic drift is this?
EX: There is a bundle of seeds that get pushed into the wind onto an island. They reproduce there and populate the island with their gene pool.
A. Founders
B. Bottleneck
A. Founders
A. Yasmine B. Bromine
C. Duracell D. Uracil
D. Uracil
What type of mutation can add genes to a chromosome?
Duplication
What kind of selection is this:
There are two lizards. Ones with long tails and ones with short tails. The ones with long tails scare predators so they are less likely to be eaten. Over time, the lizards with longer tails outlive the ones with shorter tails.
A. Disruptive B. Stabilizing
C. Directional D. Natural
C. Directional
A characteristic of an organism that helps it survive in its environment.
A. Adaptation B. Behavior
C. Body D. Mind
A. Adaptation
Give an example of a bottleneck effect using squirrels
Forrest fire and majority of the squirrels are killed off, leaving a small random selection behind.
2. The northern elephant seals were almost sent to extiction in the 1800s. They went from 100,000 to only 50 left. Once people stopped hunting them, they were able to reproduce. They were able to get back up to the 100,000 population, but the gene selection was much slimmer.
Is this an example of Genetic Drift or Natural Selection?
DOUBLE: What is the exact kind of effect/selection?
Genetic Drift
DOUBLE: Bottleneck
