Question #10

A.
individuals must be migrating in and out of the population.
B.
it must have a small population size.
C.
its members must possess inheritable variation.
D.
the mutation rate must be low.
E.
it must be in an unstable environment.
Question #11
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 no change in the genetic variability within a population because it is a case of artificial selection.
B.
Only choices a) and c) are correct.

Migration of individuals into a population generally causes that population to diverge to the extent that it becomes a new species.
D.
Migration of individuals into a population generally increases the genetic variability within a population.
E.
Migration of individuals into a population generally decreases the genetic variability within a population.

uniformity.
C.
organisms that are stronger.
D.
organisms that are perfectly adapted to their environments
E.
None of the above is correct.
Question #13
Natural selection can only act on traits:
A.
that are adaptive.
B.
that reduce mortality.
C.
that are heritable.
D.
that are acquired in an individual's lifetime.
E.
that confer a reproductive advantage.
Question #14
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.
The basic shapes of fish, penguins, and dolphins are vestigial structures.
B.
Divergent evolution and adaptive radiation into new niches often result in convergent evolution.
C.
The similarities are probably due to random chance.
D.
Parallel evolution is common among aquatic mammals.
E.
Fish, penguins, and dolphins all faced the same physical constraints during their evolution and converged upon the same body plan.
