A group of mice is transported by a cargo ship and accidentally released on a remote island, where they start a new population. This is an example of which of the following?

QUESTION 1

Founder effect

Sympatric speciation

Genetic drift

Bottleneck effect

In a small population, rapid changes in gene pool frequencies are the results of what?

QUESTION 2

Genetic drift

Artificial selection

Founder effect

Bottleneck effect

Due to a severe drought, the population of frogs in a certain region plummets from 10,000 to just 100. Scientists take 10 of these surviving frogs to establish a new population in a different, more suitable environment. Which of the following statements would accurately describe the new population?

QUESTION 3

The new frog population is genetically less diverse than the original population

The new frog population is genetically more diverse than the original population

There is equal genetic variety compared to the original population

None of the above

Which of the following is an example of genetic drift?

QUESTION 4

A volcano eruption drastically reduces a population of rabbits, leaving only a few survivors to repopulate the area.

Bees pollinate a specific type of flower, causing that flower to become more common over time.

Wolves are selectively bred for their fur color, leading to changes in the population over generations.

A small group of birds migrates to a new island and forms a new population.

Nice Job!

What is the best definition of sexual selection?

QUESTION 1

Selection related to any aspect of offspring production.

Selection that results in any type of difference between the sexes.

Selection that arises as a consequence of competition for access to mates.

Selection on the form and structure of gametes.

Which of the following is an example of non-random mating due to assortative mating?

QUESTION 2

Birds choosing mates randomly from a population regardless of appearance.

Fish preferring mates of the opposite color pattern within the same species.

Insects mating with individuals from different populations.

Deer preferring mates with similar antler size and shape.

In a bird population, males with brighter feathers are more likely to be chosen by females for mating. Which of the following concepts does this scenario best illustrate?

QUESTION 3

Random mating

Intersexual selection

Intrasexual selection

Natural selection

Assume you have a population of 1200 birds with allele frequencies A1 and A2 for beak length. Individuals that are homozygous for A1 have long beaks, and those homozygous for A2 have short beaks. Heterozygotes (A1A2) show incomplete dominance and have medium-length beaks. The allele frequencies in the population are A1 = 0.6 and A2 = 0.4. Calculate the number of individuals with long beaks (A1A1), medium-length beaks (A1A2), and short beaks (A2A2) in the population after two instances of selfing (the second and the third generation).

QUESTION 4

Long beaks: 648, Medium-length beaks: 144, Short beaks: 408

Long beaks: 504, Medium-length beaks: 480, Short beaks: 216

Long beaks: 432, Medium-length beaks: 576, Short beaks: 192

Long beaks: 360, Medium-length beaks: 600, Short beaks: 240
