Which of these fundamental concepts is well illustrated by genetic exchange among, but distinct lineages of, modern humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans? Traits evolve to continuously improve over time Evolutionary relationships can only be identified using shared, derived characteristics Natural selection requires variation in heritable traits Genetic drift is strongest in very small populations Speciation is a long-term evolutionary process not an event
Compare and contrast the multiregional and replacement models for human origins in the table below. If you are struggling with this, see the PowerPoint on the origins and dispersal of modern humans and review the tutorial: https://www2.palomar.edu/anthro/homo2/mod_homo_4.htm Multiregional Model Replacement Main argument of this model Evidence that supports this model Based on the evidence, which model of human origins is best supported?

Changes in environmental conditions can render previous adaptations as maladaptations. Describe an example of maladaptation in humans during the last 100,000 years. Your answer should include a discussion of the relevant environmental factors, fitness (in both environments), and specific variants (genotypes).

Consider a population of sticklebacks in a large lake undergoing pollution remediation. The remediation is effective in improving water quality and clarity. This could potentially cause the number of bony plates on sticklebacks to evolve. Which of the following answers best identifies the conditions under which NO natural selection would occur? All of the sticklebacks have 14 bony plates The number of bony plates present on a stickleback is not a heritable trait There is no selective advantage to having any particular number of bony plates If at least one of the conditions identified in the previous three answers is present, there will be no natural selection Only if all three of the conditions identified in the first three answers are present, there will be no natural selection
Match the terms in the left column to the appropriate blanks on the right. Terms can be used once, more than once, or not at all. shared trait distantly dependent similar analogous homologous different common ancestor closely independent Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in different lineages. It occurs when distantly related organisms obtain a shared trait trait due to analogous needs. Such resemblance is said to be homologous. Therefore, species with traits that appeared convergently do not have a common ancestor Submit Previous Answers Request Answer Reset Help X Incorrect; Try Again; 4 attempts remaining
