Populations in Europe and Africa evolved _________ genetic mechanisms for conferring lactose tolerance into adulthood.
What mechanisms have evolved in animals with (a) external fertilization and (b) internal fertilization that help ensure that offspring survive to adulthood?
Which of the following populations is likely to have the the lowest level of shared genetic history? 1.a group of individuals who recently moved from the same region of Eastern Europe who now live in diverse locations 2.a community comprised of recent immigrants from diverse locations 3.a group of individuals living in the same region of Western Africa 4.a tight-knit religious community that tends to intermarry
Question 7 1 pts Which is the most likely reason that lactose tolerance alleles selectively swept through certain human populations? O Drinking lots of milk caused a greater mutation rate Lactose intolerance reduced reproduction Lactose tolerance had a large effect on survival o It was random which populations experienced the selective sweep o None of these reasons explains the selective sweep Question 8 1 pts Which of the following can be concluded from the Grant's long-term study of the medium...
What evidence is there for the hypothesis that lactase persistence arose independently in populations in Northern Europe and East Africa? (Select the best answer) different single base mutations in a lactose regulatory region of DNA 5 to 9 thousand year old potsherds contain traces of milk fat! lactase persistence is common in certain European and African populations the dates for the origins of lactase persistence mutations are similar to archeological dates for the origin of cow milk! consumption
Which mechanisms of evolution can produce populations that are LESS fit over time? (Select all that apply) A. Genetic Drift B. Natural Selection C. Artificial Selection D. Sexual Selection
For each of the following mechanisms (a-h), consider how it will affect genetic diversity (i.e., diversity of alleles) within a population and select one of the following three options that best describes this effect: (i) increase/maintain, (ii) eliminate, or (iii) no effect [No written explanation necessary]. a. Positive frequency dependent selection b. Negative frequency dependent selection c. Selection in favor of a dominant phenotype d. Selection in favor of a recessive phenotype e. Selection favoring heterozygotes over homozygotes f. Mutation...
