Name Quiz 12: Population Genetics Points 10 3.) A population of bacteria contains no members with resistance to penicillin. Several generations pass with the bacteria reproducing. A researcher adds penicillin to the population of bacteria and discovers a few bacteria remain after the application of the antibiotic. Assume no new bacteria were introduced to the population. What can explain this using the word mutation, natural selection, adaptation (1 Point) 4.) A few persons go boating in the boundary waters of Minnesota. They pulled their own boat to and from their campsite. Without their knowledge, a small population of aquatic organisms is in/on the boat. As soon as they get home, they put their boat back in the pond behind the house. There are no other members of this species in the pond. Which mechanism is this? Justify your choice for full points (1 Point). 5) It is possible for mutation, genetic drift, and gene flow to cause microevolution. However, only by a(n) event could they lead to that population of organisms becoming better adapted to their environment. On the other hand can lead to population with better adapted organisms. (1.0) 6) A population of dogs has two different coat colors coded for by two different alleles. The character of coat color follows Mendel's rules. The frequency of one of the alleles for coat color is 250/1150 (2 Points) a) What is the frequency of both alleles in the population of dogs? (Show your work) b) What is the size of population of dogs? (Show your work) 7) What term describes the relationship between the bones in all four appendages? (1 point)
