Describe the theory of natural selection Which of thefollowing BEST describes the theory of natural selection? CHOOSEONE

	1 The genetic make-up of apopulation gradually changes from one generation to the next.
	2 Living organisms change overtime.
	3 Each species produces many moreoffspring than can survive long enough to reproduce. The offspringthat do survive contain genes that are inherited from theparents.
	4 There is variation among themembers of a species. Some of this variation is geneticallydetermined and so can be passed on to future generations.
	5 Some individuals have genes thatincrease their chances for survival and reproduction. Theseindividuals are more likely to reproduce and pass on their genes,causing their genes to become more common in the nextgeneration.
	6 There is a struggle for existenceamong the members of a population.

Just to keep you in practice, a couple of the much beloved multiple multiple choiceâ¦

1. An increase in CO₂ levels in the blood directly or indirectly causes which of the following?

A) an increases in ventilation rate

B) a decrease in the pH

C) a decrease in hemogloginâs binding affinity for O₂

D) a decrease in the O₂ levels in the blood

E) an immediate increase in the number of red blood cells found in the blood stream

2. _____ Females that reproduce sexually versus asexually are said to incur a âtwo-fold cost of sexual reproduction.â Which of the following costs are associated with sexual reproduction for females?

A) MALES! That do-nothing lot really does not directly contribute offspring to the next generation. Females would be better off making all daughters.

B) FEMALES! In most natural settings, those daughters compete with their mothers for potential mates and resources needed to successfully reproduce.

C) MITOSIS! Since sexual reproduction can produce many more offspring than asexual reproduction, there are energetic costs associated with the mitotic divisions required to produce those offspring.

D) MEIOSIS! Every time a gamete is produced, the parent loses a little bit of itself. Half to be precise since only half of its genes are passed on to sexually produced offspring.

E) DIVERSITY! Mothers maximize fitness if all offspring are genetically just like them. Sexual reproduction causes genetic diversity, which ultimately lowers the fitness of both parents.

1. Traits don't necessarily have to be passed on from parent to offspring for natural selection to act on them; traits that are environmentally acquired during the life time of an individual (such as practicing to become very strong or very fast) can also be acted upon by natural selection. Select one: True or False

2.Within the same species and even within the same population, not all individuals are the same. They vary in size, shape or other traits.

Select one:

True

False

3.Differential reproductive success means that some individuals in a population leave more offspring that survive and reproduce relative to other individuals in a population.
