1.

You are the forest manager in a large tract of forest surrounding a lake resort town of 15,000 residents in the Adirondacks. Each year, over 200,000 vacationers visit and stay in this town for short periods of time. The forest around this resort and lake has become infested with a bark beetle that has caused the death of about 20–35% of the trees. Dead trees can be seen on the hills above the resort.

​

The residents of this town are concerned about destructive crown fires that may threaten their lives or property. They have petitioned you as the forest manager to have the dead trees removed. They prefer to have this done by the quickest means possible.

​

What information can you provide to the residents about sustainable forestry? How can tree removal be accomplished in a manner that is in line with sustainable forestry?

____________________________ create new alleles in a population.

The change in allele frequency in a population over time is ____________________, not macroevolution, which refers to the formation of new ____________________.

Name one assumption (condition) that a population must satisfy to remain in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

___________________________________________________________________

____________________ is the movement of alleles from one population to another due to migration.

_____________________ is a random change in allele frequency and has the greatest effect on ____________________ (small or large) populations.

The _____________________ of a population, resulting from some population crash, will cause the entire loss of some alleles due entirely to chance.

A type of genetic drift, known as ________________________________________, can cause rare alleles to become “common” in the population, such as polydactyly in the Olde Order Amish populations.

Females prefer to mate with males who express certain traits. This is known as ____________________ and requires the two sexes to have different appearances (known as: ____________________ ____________________).
