1. As a field researcher you are sent to the Arizona desert to study the prairie dog species C. ludivicianus to determine if the population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. Specifically, you are studying this population with respect to the gene that determines the coat color in C. ludivicianus. This is a trait that is coded for by a single gene (the NDY6 gene) with two alleles (N, n) and is passed down from one generation to another.

After sampling 170 of these prairie dogs, you find that the C. ludivicianus population is basically in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium for this trait. Your results are as follows:

Genotype frequency of the n/n population (n/n) = 0.36

a) What is the actual allelic frequency of the N allele? ______

b) What is the actual genotype frequency for N/N? ______

c) What is the actual genotype frequency for N/n? ______

d) What conditions must be satisfied for a population to be in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium?

__________________________________________________________________________________

2. If a population IS in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, which of the following IS assumed to be true? (check ALL that apply)

___ The population is large ____ Organisms do not select their mates ___ Mutations occur rarely

___ Natural selection occurs ____ There is no migration

3. Match each statement with an idea. In the blank to the left of each statement, write “L” for Lamarckism, “D” for Darwinism, or “B” for both

a) _____ Adaptive traits make an organism better suited for its environment.

b) _____ Traits accumulated over a single lifetime can be passed on to offspring

c) _____ Populations are smaller than can be supported by the environment, traits are passed on genetically, and some organisms reproduce more than others.

d) _____ An organism can “will” a change to occur.

e) _____ If Vincent VanGogh had cut his ear off, then had a daughter, the daughter would be born without an ear.

4. A population of Daphnia (diploid water fleas- Mrs. Frazier’s favorite organism () is divided as follows into genotypes for albinism (a recessive trait). A=dominant allele (dark color), a=recessive allele (no color).

|148 Daphnia are Aa |

|6 Daphnia are aa |

a) How many total alleles are in the population? ____

b) What is the allelic frequency of A? _____

c) What is the genotypic frequency of aa? ______

d) Using the Hardy Weinberg equation, calculate the expected genotype frequency of homozygous recessives. ______

e) Is this Daphnia population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? YES or NO (circle one)

f) Explain your answer to (e) _________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________________________

g) What would the phenotype of an Aa individual be? __________________

5. The diagrams to the right represent two different models for

looking at the rates of evolution.

a) Does diagram A illustrate:

Gradualism or Punctuated Equilibrium? (circle one)

b) Provide one piece of evidence from the diagram

to defend your answer to (a): ___________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________

6. You obtain the following data after testing 100 random MV students and high school students all over the U.S.

| |Procrastinators |Non-procrastinators |

|Monta Vista Students |72 out of 100 |28 out of 100 |

|U.S. High School Students |70% |30% |

Use Chi-Squared Analysis to compare the Monta Vista population with the United States High School Student population.

Based on this, what can you conclude, including how certain you are of this conclusion (be specific!): _____________________________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________

7. Match the following mechanisms of evolution to its correct example.

____Bottleneck Effect A. Organisms move into a population changing the allelic frequencies.

____Founder Effect B. Certain traits offer a selective advantage over others.

____Mutations C. Changes in DNA sequence result from mistakes in DNA replication

____Fitness D. Carriers of the sickle cell anemia gene have resistance to malaria

____Heterozygote Advantage E. A small number of individuals inhabit an island and begin reproducing.

____Gene Flow F. A hurricane wipes out a large portion of the population and a few

individuals are left to reproduce.

8. When two species form because of geographic separation, this is an example of:

a) Sympatric speciation c) Genetic Drift

b) Allopatric speciation d) Polyploidy

9. Height is a genetic trait that shows a range of phenotypes (from very tall to very short). Heterozygotes are moderate in height. A 2005 study records the heights of individuals across the world. This data, comparing the number of individuals at each height is record in the graph below.

In the year 3005, the world has become overcrowded, and as a result, personal space is at a minimum. Very tall people must always stoop and slouch, which results in poor skeletal health. This reduces their life expectancy to 35 years and means they are less likely to mate often. Short people have no difficulty maintaining great posture, and their use of less resources means they can share extra resources with their mates and families. This means they reproduce more.

a) On the graph, draw how you would expect the population data to look in the year 3005. Label this curve “3005”.

b) What type of selection is the world population experiencing with respect to height? (circle one)

Directional Stabilizing Disruptive

c) Over the course of the next 100 years, it becomes advantageous to be of moderate height (compared to the rest of the population). This would result in which kind of selection? (circle one)

Directional Stabilizing Disruptive

d) One of the advantages of being moderate height is that moderate height gives individuals better protection against a deadly avian flu. This would be an example of

Heterozygote Advantage Phenotypic Polymorphism Sexual Dimorphism

10. In 4007, an atomic war wipes out most life on the planet. Only a single species of squirrel survives the war. The extensive radiation from the war causes mutation rates to increase. In addition, the squirrels are able to occupy many new niches in the environment. Over a relatively short amount of time, the original species of squirrel develops into many different species of squirrel.

a) This is in example of (circle one)

Adaptive Radiation Gradualism Natural Selection Gene Flow

b) The rate of evolution of the squirrels after the atomic war would provide evidence for which model? (circle one)

punctuated equilibrium gradualism

c) One group of squirrels are active only at night, when it is cooler, and another group are active only during the day when it is warm. Over time, these groups become different species. Based on the information provided, the two squirrel groups evolve into different species because (circle one)

i) One group has a higher fitness than another.

ii) The allelic frequencies in one group are different than in another group.

iii) The populations, when mated, would produce offspring with low hybrid vigor.

iv) The populations are unable to mate with one another.

v) The populations are geographically isolated from one another.

d) A new mutation in squirrels gives them a big hind tail with a flipper like that on a seal. Though structurally different from the seal flipper, the squirrels with tail flippers are now able to swim very quickly to islands that are not otherwise populated by squirrels (and take advantage of the food on these islands). The squirrel hind tail flipper and the seal flipper would be classified as (circle one):

Homologous Structures Analogous Structures Vestigial Structures Pleiotropic Structures

e) As a result of the adaptation in (d), a small group of squirrels swim away and start a new population on a remote desert island. This illustrates (circle one):

Artificial Selection Founder Effect Bottleneck Effect Sexual Selection

f) On the island, seasons are extreme, with the summer being very hot, and the winter being very cold. Although born from the same parents, offspring born in the winter are small, while those born in the summer are larger. This phenomenon is best explained by (circle one):

Genetic drift Phenotypic polymorphism Incomplete Dominance Epistasis

d) Multicellularity arose after the evolution of colonies. What is true about the evolution of colonies? (circle one)
