Evolutionary Analysis Exam 1 Questions
With Correct Answers
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium principle states - answer✔allele frequencies in a population will
not change from generation to generation; if allele frequencies are p and q, genotype frequencies
will be p^2, 2pq, q^2
mechanisms of evolution - answer✔drift, selection, migration, mutation
population genetics - answer✔integrates natural selection with Mendelian genetics
evolution is ______ in a population - answer✔change in allele frequency
species are not immutable - answer✔microevolution
lineages split - answer✔speciation
novel forms arise - answer✔macroevolution
evidence of microevolution - answer✔- selective breeding
- vestigial structures
- natural populations
vestigial structures - answer✔rudimentary version of body part that has function in other
species
Darwin's thoughts on Malthus - answer✔Malthus said populations can grow exponentially but
we rarely see this ∴ not all offspring survive and there is a struggle for existence
history of evolutionary thought - answer✔1859: Darwin publishes origin of species
1860: Gregor Mendal & genetics
1910: mutations discovered as the source of genetic novelty
20s and 30s: population genetics reconcile Mendel and Darwin
...
things Darwin got going - answer✔1. shifted focus to variability and change in nature
