Document Summary

In disrupive, the people at the mean are selected against. Important points about the operaion of natural selecion. Mutaions do not arise in response to what the environment favors. The ones that are favorable do not foresee what happens. Mutaions do not occur randomly, there are mutaion hotspots in the chromosomes the above idea is what is trying to be conveyed. It may result in a change in trait mean evoluion or no change in trait mean no evoluion except disrupive selecion. Peppered moth shit from light to dark due to the coloring of trees changing due to the industrial revoluion because the dark ones survive beter. The grants researched this and a drought hit. The average bill depth went up a lot. Low and high birth weights have high mortaliies. Low birth weight babies are underdeveloped especially in the lungs and are at selecive disadvantage. Really big babies have diiculty geing out so they also are at selecive disadvantage.

Peter and Rosemary Grantâs research on Darwinâs finches demonstrated that dry years on the Galapagos Island Daphne Major favored deep beaks in the medium ground finch (Geospiza fortis) and that very wet years favored narrow beaks. In years that were neither wet nor dry (intermediate years), many different types of foods were available, and birds with intermediate beak sizes were favored. Immediately following an intermediate year, average beak size in G. fortis is expected to be

A) narrower than after a wet year and wider than after a dry year.

B) wider than after a wet year and narrower than after a dry year.

C) the same as after a wet year and wider than after a dry year.

D) the same as after a dry year and narrower than after a wet year.

A) Different color morphs exist naturally in the peppered moth population.

B) The genetic basis of melanism in peppered moths is unknown.

C) Dark moths are recaptured more in polluted areas than light moths.

D) Birds looking for food often miss moths that are the same color as the mothâs background.

Check all of the statements that are supported by studies of artificial selection.

A) Artificial selection shows that evolutionary change can occur over a short time.

B) Artificial selection shows that natural selection is capable of producing major evolutionary change.

C) Artificial selection occurs when humans selectively breed individuals of a species with desirable traits.

D) Artificial selection results only in minor changes within a species.
