Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
p and q represent these things
What is frequency of dominant allele and frequency of recessive allele
Difference between Maximum Parsimony and Maximum Likelihood
Give an example of a vestigial organ in humans
What is the appendix?
Mules live a long, happy life but are unable to reproduce. This is thanks to
What is Hybrid Fertility?
The original source for all genetic variation
What is mutation?
p2, 2pq, and q2 represent these things
What is frequency of homozygous dominant genotype, frequency of heterozygous genotype, frequency of homozygous recessive genotype?
Number of monophyletic clades present in this cladogram (See slideshow)
Key conditions of the Miller-Urey Experiment and the Early Earth conditions these represent.
What is condensor for water vapor (atmosphere), heat source to represent volcanic activity, and electricity to represent lightning?
List the six Pre-zygotic Isolating mechanisms
What are Geographical Isolation, Ecological Isolation, Temporal Isolation, Behavioral Isolation, Mechanical Incompatibility, Gametic Incompatibility
A high proportion of Mike The Tiger's on LSU island have extremely big eyes. This is the most likely explanation.
What is the Founder Effect?
In a population of 1,000 individuals, 160 exhibit a recessive phenotype. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, this is the frequency of the dominant allele.
What is 0.6?
"x" According to the Maximum Likelihood principle (See slideshow)
A sample of carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. If a fossil originally contained 10 g of carbon-14, amount remaining after 17,190 years?
What is 1.25 grams?
A certain population of moths that are white-gray-black in color live in a forest with very dark colored trees. Over time, the average color of moths in this forest becomes darker. The most likely cause of this is
What is directional selection?
A scientist discovers that a sample of a radioactive isotope has only 6.25 g remaining after 20 days. If the isotope has a half-life of 5 days, this was the initial mass of the sample
What is 100 grams?
In a population of 500 cats, 180 have white fur, which is a recessive trait (ww). Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, this is the frequency of the dominant allele (W).
What is 0.6?
Trait at the position marked "x" (see slideshow)
What is "E"?
List the major taxonomic clades in order from most inclusive to least inclusive
The two mechanisms of isolation and the difference between the two.
What is allopatric speciation is caused by gene pools being geographically isolated and sympatric speciation is caused by the population being in the same geographic area but separated otherwise?
Significance of Sidney Fox's work
What is built on the Miller-Urey experiment, showed not just monomers could be formed abiotically but also polymers?
In a certain plant species, the allele for tall height (T) is dominant to short height (t). If 9% of the plants are short (tt), this is the percentage of the population expected to be heterozygous under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
What is 42%?
Organism at the highlighted position. (See slideshow)
What is "5"?
Explain the endosymbiotic hypothesis and name the two main examples
What is forerunners of eukaryotic cells were symbiotic associations of prokaryotic cells living in larger prokaryotic organisms: the mitochondria and chloroplasts?
Two types of polyploidy and the difference between the two
A population of birds lives across a mountain range. Birds at high altitudes have larger lungs and more efficient oxygen transport than those at lower altitudes. What this variation represents
What is a cline according to altitude?
