B.
STIs can only be transmitted through sexual intercourse.
C.
STIs are annoying and uncomfortable but they are never fatal.

Question #7
For a population to evolve through natural selection:
A.
it must have a small population size.
B.
its members must possess inheritable variation.
C.
it must be in an unstable environment.
D.
the mutation rate must be low.
E.
individuals must be migrating in and out of the population.
Question #8
Select from the choices below the statement that best describes the effect of the migration of individuals into a population.
A.
Migration of individuals into a population generally causes that population to diverge to the extent that it becomes a new species.
B.
Only choices a) and c) are correct.
C.
Migration of individuals into a population generally decreases the genetic variability within a population.
D.
Migration of individuals into a population generally increases the genetic variability within a population.
E.
Migration of individuals into a population generally causes no change in the genetic variability within a population because it is a case of artificial selection.

organisms that are stronger.
C.
uniformity.
D.
organisms that are perfectly adapted to their environments

that are acquired in an individual's lifetime.
C.
that reduce mortality.

that are heritable.
E.
that are adaptive.
Question #11
If two organisms are closely related, we would expect them to have:

The fact that fish, penguins, and dolphins all have the same basic shape is BEST explained by which of the following?
A.
Fish, penguins, and dolphins all faced the same physical constraints during their evolution and converged upon the same body plan.
B.
Divergent evolution and adaptive radiation into new niches often result in convergent evolution.
C.
Parallel evolution is common among aquatic mammals.
D.
The similarities are probably due to random chance.
E.
The basic shapes of fish, penguins, and dolphins are vestigial structures.
Question #13

a strong predictor of adult weight.
B.
subject to directional selection.
C.
subject to stabilizing selection.
D.
not a heritable trait.
E.
subject to disruptive selection.

A.
It takes decades or longer for organisms to evolve by natural selection.
B.
Resistance alleles in the bacterial populations in the human body are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
C.
Bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics much more slowly than humans can invent new antibiotics.
D.
Bacteria can mutate in order to be immune to antibiotics.
E.
Humans have provided the selection pressure that results in more harmful strains of bacteria.
