1 Biol 178 Principles of Biology Study Questions Exam 5: Evolution and Classification 1. Natural selection as a mechanism of evolution that acts on variants within populations and ultimately leads to the evolution of different species was proposed by A) Mendel B) Lyell C) Mathus D) Darwin E) Founder 2. Features that increase the likelihood of survival and reproduction by an organism in a particular environment are called A) genes B) alleles C) mutations D) adaptations E) selection 3. The gene pool includes A) all of the fitness within a population B) all of the individuals within a population C) all of the mutations within a population D) all of the adaptations within a population E) all of the alleles of genes within a population 4. The founder principle explains how rare alleles and a combination of alleles may be enhanced in new A) populations B) clines C) bottleneck areas D) migratory areas E) genomes 5. A restriction in genetic variability caused by a drastic reduction in population size is called a A) founder effect B) Hardy-Weinberg effect C) bottleneck effect D) polymorphic effect E) adaptive effect 6. The genetic contribution of an individual to succeeding generations, compared with that of other individuals in the population, is known as A) variation B) microevolution C) marcoevolution D) fitness Page 1
2 E) adaptive makeup 7. Darwin proposed that natural selection occurs in an environment by A) favoring heritable features that make the organism better suited to survive and reproduce B) producing a constant number of offspring while in that environment C) surviving for a fixed amount of time D) resisting the environment and keeping the environment from changing E) all of the above 8. The Hardy-Weinberg equations only hold true, that is, a population is only in equilibrium A) when immigration in and out of the area are held constant B) when changes only take place over long periods of time C) when it includes episodes of extinction D) when the population is designed to survive in new habitats E) when all of the Hardy-Weinberg assumptions are correct 9. In the Hardy-Weinberg equations the frequencies of 2 alleles in a population (where there are only 2 alleles to consider) can be designated as A) a and b B) p and q C) p 2 and q 2 D) 2pq E) all of the above 10. The frequency of a particular allele within a population can be changed, over time, by A) genetic outflow B) gene expression C) selection D) steroid interaction E) random mating 11. The genetic preservation of the features that increase the likelihood of survival and reproduction of some individuals within a population is called the process of A) natural selection B) creation of new species C) genetic drift D) outcrossing E) increasing evolutionary resistance 12. Which of the following describes Darwin's explanations for evolution? A) new species formation is through adaptational changes; populations are independent of environment; learned experiences pass on to the next generation B) adaptational changes accumulate; natural selection is responsible for changes within a population C) new species formation is spontaneous; populations are independent of environment; learned experiences pass on to the next generation Page 2
3 D) all of the above E) a and b 13. Hardy-Weinberg pointed out that the original proportions of the genotypes in a population will remain constant from generation to generation if certain assumptions are met. These are A) the population is very large and random mating is occurring B) no gene mutation and migration takes place C) no selection occurs D) a, b, and c E) a and b only 14. For a gene with two alternative alleles, A (frequency p) and a (frequency q), the term in the algebraic form of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the heterozygote genotype frequency is A) p 2 B) q 2 C) 2pq D) (p+q) 2 E) 2Aa 15. Which one of the following is not an agent of natural evolutionary change? A) mutation B) migration C) genetic drift D) non-random mating E) artificial selection 16. The phenomenon in which rare alleles become more common in new populations is called A) founder effect B) gene flow C) genetic drift D) assortative mating E) mutation 17. In small populations, frequencies of certain alleles may change by chance alone. Such random change in the frequency of alleles is called A) mutation B) migration C) genetic drift D) nonrandom mating E) selection 18. The type of non-random mating that causes the frequencies of particular genotypes to differ greatly from those predicted by the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is called A) mutation B) migration C) genetic drift Page 3
4 D) assortative mating E) selection 19. There are 5 agents of evolutionary change A) mutation, point mutation, transposition, deletion, crossing over B) mutation, gene flow, nonrandom mating, genetic drift, selection C) founder principle, bottleneck effect, genome effect, gene flow, selection pressure D) gene flow, Hardy-Weinberg effect, p 2, q 2, mutation E) there are more than 5 agents, all of the above cause evolution change 20. In order for natural selection to occur within a population, three conditions must be met. These include A) phenotypic differences resulting from environmental conditions B) frequent mutations that are inherited C) low rates of immigration D) phenotypic variations that are genetic E) all of the above 21. When selection acts to eliminate one extreme from an array of phenotypes it is called A) natural selection B) stabilizing selection C) disruptive selection D) directional selection E) artificial selection 22. The total of all of alleles in the entire population can be thought of as A) an allele mixture B) a gene pool C) a genetic melting pot D) a genome E) variant genes 23. Certain small towns in the western United States have remained isolated and inbred since their settlement many years ago. Some alleles are more common in these communities as compared to the rest of the population.
