Jim is watching a news segment on antibiotic resistance and is wondering how it is possible for antibiotic resistance to evolve rapidly. Jim decides to ask his daughter (which is taking an evolution class) why this might be. Which statement should not be in her response?
NEXT
a. Bacteria reproduce rapidly, allowing them to pass on resistant genes that they may have
B. Antibiotics cause weak selective pressure, giving them more chance of gaining antibiotic resistant genes.
C. Bacteria can experience random mutations which have a chance to be beneficial and aid their antibiotic resistance.
D. Resistant genes can be passed between bacteria by methods such as conjugation.
LEVEL 2/6
Which of the following statements are true regarding obesity and evolution?
NEXT
A. Most of the variation in a population’s body mass index is due to differences in genes.
B. There are not many possible environmental reasons for obesity.
C. Obesity is solely related to genetic differences shared across and within populations.
D. Body mass index variation can be influenced by the microbes present in the human gut across and within populations.
LEVEL 3/6
The news is covering a coronavirus variant which is spreading. They mention in the segment that the reason for the spread might not be due to a beneficial mutation carried by the variant. Is this possible, why, or why not?
NEXT
A. It is possible because the virus could have acquired advantageous genes from another virus by conjugation.
B. It is possible because a population of people can move the variant from one place to another
C. It is possible because viruses are able to release genes once they die, therefore allowing other viruses to pick them up.
D. It is not possible because changes in the biology of the virus must happen for it to spread.
LEVEL 4/6
Sasha is studying myopia in her evolution class. She wonders why myopia is prevalent in the modern world since she theorized that natural selection would have gotten rid of the alleles causing myopia among hunter-gatherer ancestors. Which is a plausible explanation for why myopia is present in modern humans?
NEXT
A. Myopia exists now because the alleles that cause myopia in modern humans did not do so in a hunter-gatherer environment.
B. Myopia exists now because it is solely caused by environmental influences.
C. Myopia exists now because both hunter-gatherers and modern humans have had lifestyles abundant in visual demands.
D. Myopia exists now because humans did not evolve in response to selection imposed by lifestyle changes.
LEVEL 5/6
Bill is interested in the field of medicine and knows that bacteria evolve rapidly and gain resistant genes. He reads online that scientists are trying to prevent strains of resistant bacteria through different methods. Which of the following is not a method that scientists are taking towards solving this issue?
NEXT
A. Using vaccines to stop infections from occurring
B. Employing phage therapy treatments
C. Encouraging a lot of antibiotic use
D. Changing medical practices to avoid infections in medical areas.
LEVEL 6/6
A scientist wants to investigate cancer cell populations in a patient’s body. Would it be possible to make an evolutionary tree of the cell lineages?
NEXT
A. No, because there is no technology that allows us to track the lineages of cells.
B. No, because tools used to recreate a population’s history cannot be used to reconstruct tumor history.
C. Yes, because scientists track the cell lineages using the mutations distinguishing the tumors.
D. Yes, because scientists are able to create evolutionary trees of the lineages prior to the cancer even forming.
