A parasitic mite that lives on the feathers of certain birds has specially adapted parts that allow it to remain attached. In response, the structure of the birds' feathers changes to cause the mites to be shed regularly. This is considered - ANS-Coevolution A particular gene in a population has two alleles, C and c. If the allele frequency of C= 0.7, what is the frequency of c? - ANS-.3 The alleles must add up to equal 1 A species of bird lives in an area where large and small seeds are common, but medium size seeds are not. Birds with large beaks are adept at eating large seeds and birds with small beaks are adept at eating small seeds. This population will likely undergo Choose one: A. stabilizing selection. B. artificial selection. C. directional selection. D. disruptive selection - ANS-disruptive selction allele frequency - ANS-the relative proportion of an allele in a population -the frequency of something is the # of something/total, and will always be <1. (fraction or decimal) Allopatric speciation - ANS-when new species arise in populations that are geographically isolated (Physically separated) -Examples: mountains, river valleys, and canyons Analogous traits - ANS-whens species share traits due to convergent evolution (so are not genetically similar) Animalia - ANS-encompasses all animals, including dinosaurs, birds, and humans Artificial selection occurs when humans - ANS-select which organisms will breed Behavioral isolation - ANS-Prezygotic barrier -different mating behaviors like mating displays Biological classification - ANS-helps us answer important evolutionary questions Biological evolution is best defined as.. - ANS-the change in genetic ch
