Question 1

Evolutionary algorithms are used:

In engineering, to arrive at solutions by going through many permutations of possible solutions and allowing them to evolve.

A genetic feature of complex organisms.

A process undergone by the human brain, which is similar to evolution by natural selection.

Another term used for a computer algorithm in general.

Question 2

Human literature and languages can be studied using methods similar to those used for constructing phylogenies because:

There is no other way of studying these things.

Languages evolve roughly along the lines of species, with mutations (changes in words and pronunciation), descent with modification (languages becoming more different along the way), and branching of languages (languages giving rise to other languages that are similar to them).

Because literature and languages are constructed by organisms (human beings), so what applies to one must apply to the other.

Languages undergo a process of word swapping, which is analogous to horizontal gene transfer.

Question 3

The degree to which horizontal gene transfer occurs in eukaryotes is:

Something upon which the entire validity of evolutionary biology hinges.

A mystery that may or may not disprove evolution, but we simply don't know enough about it at this point.

Something that would overthrow the notion that this phenomenon is important in bacteria.

An interesting and potentially important aspect of biology with relevance for how evolution occurs, but not something that would call it into question one way or the other.

Question 4

Learning about the history of scientific theories and the reasons for why they are initially accepted or rejected is important mostly because:

It makes for exciting story telling, and this is very much needed to get people interested in science.

It teaches us about the process of science as it actually occurs, which is somewhat different to the idealized notion of a purely objective undertaking.

It tells us which theories are definitely true or false.

It tells us that science is actually a totally subjective process that tries to present itself as objective. In reality, personal subjective factors are the only relevant factors that really matter in science.

Directions: The following is a headnote that precedes a shortstory in a literature textbook. Read it, then write a brief answerto the questions that follow. The Hockey Sweater By Roch CarrierRoch Carrier, the author of this short story, was born in 1937. Heis a native of the Canadian province of Quebec. Although much ofCanada uses English as its native language, French is the preferredlanguage in Quebec, which has tried) unsuccessfully) to secede fromCanada and become an independent country. The story, firstpublished in1979, describes hockeyâs influence on the lives ofCanadian boys when the author was a boy in the 1940s.

As youread, look for the authors observations on the difference betweenadults and children. In the story, children see adults as authorityfigures who make them do things they donât want to do. Has thisperception changes much over the decades? Do the authors fondmemories of his childhood make you recall any similar experiencesfrom your youth? 1. Which political issue do you think may play arole in the soty? 2. Do a search for âThe Hockey sweaterâ onWikipedia. (www.wikipedia.org). Which famous Canadian hockey playeris an important character in the story? 3. Based on the descriptionin the headnote, what are your expectations for the story? Forexample, do you think the story will be funny, depressing, orangry? Why?
