 Bio 1B Mock Final (Ecology, Evolution, Plants)1. According to the logistic growth equation:a. the number of individuals added per unit time is greatest when N is close to zerob. the per capita growth rate (r ) increases as N approaches Kc. population growth is zero when N equals Kd. the population grows exponentially when K is smalle. the birth rate (b) approaches zero as N approaches K2. The model of exponential growth predicts that the per capita population growth rate r:a. does not change as a population gets largerb. gets larger as a population gets largerc. gets smaller as a population gets largerd. is always at its maximum level (r-max)e. fluctuates on a regular cycle3. A trophic cascade is illustrated by;a. energy efficiency of approximately 10% is transferred from one trophic level to the nextb. the effects of wolves on lower trophic levels in Yellowstone National Parkc. the relationship between nematode parasites, flies, and humans causing river blindnessd. the impact of upwelling of nutrients on autotrophs and heterotrophs along the coast of Californiae. the predictable sequence of species associated with decomposition of a human body4. Net primary productivity (NNP) in terrestrial systems is associated with:a. temperatureb. precipitationc. nutrient availabilityd. a and be. all of the above5. An example of ecological succession would be:a. the change in species composition of a grasslands from one trophic level to the next after a volcano explodes and wipes out the fieldb. the change in the species composition of an island community over time following a tsunami c. the change in a forest as the trees grow largerd. the process by which a species becomes abundant in a community after a disturbance occurse. the build-up of soil nutrients that allow facilitation of another species6. A hurricane wipes out a rich tropical forest community on an island that is soon replaced by a certain species of coconut. The coconut is able to concentrate a high amount of nitrate, which brings a potentially threatening tree species, Theobroma cacao, to the island. What is this situation an example of?I. Primary SuccessionII. Secondary SuccessionIII. Density-Dependent Population RegulationIV. FacilitationV. Inhibitiona. II onlyb. II and IIIc. II and IVd. II and Ve. II, III, and IV7.

The interaction of the bumblebee with the flowers could best be described as that of a:a. predatorb. mutualistc. pollinatord. parasitee. endosymbiont9. Swordfish have higher mercury concentrations than smaller ocean-dwelling fish because:a. they live a long time and are near the top of their food chainb. they occur in parts of the ocean where mercury has concentratedc. the fishing gear used to catch them contaminates the fishd. smaller fish are able to purge their bodies of mercurye. swordfish are active and respire heavily, passing a lot of ocean water over gills, allowing mercury uptake.

The Out of the Africa Hypothesis (#1) and Multi-regional Hypothesis (#2) agree that Homo erectus originated in Africa and expanded to Eurasia about one million years ago, but differ in explaining the origin of moderm human (Homo sapiens sapiens). The following statements go with which hypothesis?____A second migration out of Africa happened about 100,000 years ago, in which anatomically modern humans of African origin conquered the world by completely replacing archaic human populations.____Independent multiple origins or shared multiregional evolution with continuous gene flow between continental populations occurred in the million years since Homo erectus came out of Africa (the trellis theory).a. 1, 2b. 2, 1c. 2,2d. none of the above14.

Despite their disjunct distribution, the living families of ratite birds, namely the ostrich of Africa, rhea of South America, emu of Australia, cassowary of Australia and New Guinea, descedents of a lineage that diverged from a common ancestral stock that inhabited Gondwanaland before it split into the southern land masses. Including their common ancestor, they thus form a/an________.a. convergent groupb. analogous groupc. paraphyletic groupd. monophyletice. none of the above19. Which of the following populations is NOT in Hardy Weinberg proportions?a. 25% AA, 50% AB, 25% BBb. 64% AA, 32% AB, 4% BBc. 81% AA, 18% AB, 1% BBd. 20% AA, 60% AB, 20% BBe. all of the above are in Hardy-Weinberg proportions20. In a large, randomly breeding population of lizards, 75% of the individuals at birth have white stripes; 25% do not have white stripes. If this is a genetic trait governed by a single pair of alleles with the allele for white stripes dominant, assuming Hardy Weinberg proportions, the frequency of the allele for no white stripes is:a. 0.25b. 0.50c. 0.75d. 1.00e. There is no way to estimate21. An epidemic killed in a large proportion of a population of deer in California thereby reducing the gene pool. This is an example ofa. directional selectionb. genetic isolationc. the bottleneck effectd. the founder principlee. all of the above are correct22. In the early 1800s, peppered moths living in England rested on tree trunks that were covered with whitish lichens. The moths were also whitish in color and so matched the color of the background on which they rested. This made the moths less visible to the birds that preyed on them. In the late 1840s, an increasing number of very dark moths began to appear in moth populations near cities where pollution had killed most of the lichens, leaving the tree trunks sooty and black. Over the past 100 years, the frequency of dark moths has increased to as much as 98% near polluted cities. What type of selection has operated on moths in the polluted areas since 1840?a. directional selectionb. stabilizing selectionc. disruptive selectiond. sexual selectione. artificial selection23. A female hummingbird normally lays exactly two eggs each time she nests. Occasionally, a nest with three eggs, but the usual result is the loss of all three nestlings because the nest, built for two, breaks apart as the eggs grow larger. Females who only lay one egg (it happens) raise only one young. Assuming the number of eggs layed is inheritied as a quantitiave trait, this pattern is an example of:a. directional selectionb. disruptive selectionc. stabilizing selectiond. kin selectione. none of the above24. Suppose a species of grasshopper normally breeds in June and lays its eggs on the young shoots of an annual grass that comes up in June. A mutant female grasshopper in the population produces a batch of eggs that carry a new allele that delays sexual development until August. Her offspring feed on the young shoots of another grass, in the very same habitat, that comes up in August. Her offspring mate successfully with one another producing a new generation of August-mating grasshoppers. The August-mating subpopulation of grasshoppers is a good candidate for:a. allopatric speciationb. stabilizing selectionc. sympatric speciationd. directional selectione. disruptive selectionPlants25.
