Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.

Question

Definition Definition Process by which new species arise. This occurs when populations of a species become isolated and diverge, developing unique traits through natural selection, genetic drift, or other mechanisms. Over time, these differences accumulate until the populations can no longer interbreed and are considered separate species.

Figure 18.23 Which of the following statements is false? Punctuated equilibrium is most likely to occur in a small population that experiences a rapid change in its environment. Punctuated equilibrium is most likely to occur in a large population that lives in a stable climate. Gradual speciation is most likely to occur in species that live in a stable climate. Gradual speciation and punctuated equilibrium both result in the evolution of new species.
Which part of these statements isn't right ? A species is a group of organisms that can potentially interbreed with one another to produce viable, fertile offspring. Speciation is when two new species form from one original one. Sympatric speciation occurs when there is a geographic separation of a population. Allopatric speciation occurs while the population remains in the same area. Adaptive radiation occurs when one species evolves into many to fill several different niches. Natural selection requires traits to be passed from parent to offspring, more offspring are produced than can survive creating competition, and inherited traits vary among offspring. Fossils, Anatomy and embryology, biogeography, and molecular biology all provide support for the theory of evolution. Evolution can be driven by many different things. Mutations are changes in DNA that create new alleles in a population. Gene flow is the flow of alleles in and out of a population resulting from the migration…
In sympatric speciation (fill in the blank) can result in (fill in the blank) and lead to formation of new species from a population that (fill in the blank) fill in the blank with the following: is geographically isolated, gene flow, reproduction isolation, is in the same environment, genetic drift, or ecological isolation
Each of the examples describes either a speciation event or potential speciation event. Place each scenario under allopatric, parapatric, or sympatric speciation. Allopatric speciation Parapatric speciation Sympatric speciation
Which of the following statements is true regarding the phrase "adaptive radiation"? O It refers to multiple speciation events within an evolutionary lineage. It refers to many populations of the same species. It is the result of genetic drift occuring many times over evolutionary time. Gene flow is an evolutionary mechanism that can account for adaptive radiations.
Which of the following speciation mechanisms is most likely to be responsible for the divergence of a single species into two distinct species due to geographic isolation caused by a mountain range? Sympatric speciation Allopatric speciation (dispersal) Allopatric speciation (vicariance) Parapatric speciation
new species divergence Which row below identifies the model of evolution shown in this diagram and offers the best explanation of this model? The statement above is best completed by the answers in row: Row Model Explanation evolutionary history consists of long periods of equilibrium where there is little change, interrupted by periods of speciation gradualism punctuated equilibrium gradual change occurs steadily in a linear fashion; big changes (such as the evolution of a new species) occur as a result of many small changes gradual change occurs steadily in a linear fashion; big changes (such as the evolution of a new species) occur as a result of many small changes gradualism punctuated equilibrium evolutionary history consists of long periods of equilibrium where there is little change, interrupted by periods of speciation Time
Geographic isolation is an isolating mechanism in nature. Over long periods of time, it can lead to speciation. As the name suggests, geographic isolation is when populations of a species become separated geographically. This could also happen from the founder effect, where a small group breaks away from a larger population and establishes a group in an isolated area. Isolation could also occur when a geographic event, like an earthquake or a landslide separates a population. Once the populations are separated evolution can occur through multiple mechanisms. Natural selection could act on each population, where some individuals have favorable traits for survival. Genetic drift can occur, where genotypes become more common due to random chance. These mechanisms can lead to each subpopulation becoming so different, that they can no longer interbreed and are considered separate species.

Which of the following forces of evolution tends to slow down population divergence and prevent speciation? Group of answer choices Sexual selection Genetic drift Gene flow Mutation Natural selection
If a species looks superficially the same after thousands of years, the most likely explanation is: Group of answer choices there is no evolution happening to that population they have evolved a level of perfection so no changes are necessary the changes are not easily observed, such as changes in immunity or metabolism they have not experienced any Gene Flow 13
Describe the evolutionary mechanisms (natural selection, artificial selection, sexual selection, genetic variation, genetic drift, biotechnology), and explain how they affect the evolutionary development and extinction of various species (i.e. Darwin's finches, giraffes, pandas)
