Question

f the following Is the phenomenon by which variation firs, arises with ino popul in a) Mutation. b) Adaptation. - Inberitance. d) Genelic drift. e) Natural selection. 2. Which of the following are most lkely to eventually become sp o) A mixed population of blue-flowered amd white-flowered Anemone plants that pollinate at the some time of the year. b) A population of Anolis lizords where, because of overcrowding, some individuals have migrated to a nearby uninhabited island. c) A population of monkeyflowers (Mimulus spp.J that straddle the tropical and subtropical sones, and con be polinated by the some bird speeies d) Populorons o h as and southerm londmosses about the Panama Canal e) None of the above 3. The effects of genetic drift can be directly counteracted by a) genetic uniformity (low number of allele varlants) b) small population size. c) extinction. d) selection. e) none of the above Questions 4-8: Matching. March the numbered consept on the right with the letter of the histerisel figure on the right who is associated with that concept. a) Lamardk b) Darwin c) Aristotle d Malthus e) Lyell Essentialis 5. "Essay on Population" 6. Uniformitarianism 7. Transformism 8. Adaptive radiation 9. Which of the following statements best desaribes a feature of the lysogenic cycle of lambda (A) phage? a) After infection, the viral genes immediately turn the host cell Into a phage-producing factory, and the host cell then lyses b) Most of the prophage genes are activated by the product of a particular prophage gene c) The phage genome replicates along with the host genome d) Certain environmental triggers con cause the phage to exit the host genome, switching from the lytic to the lysogenic e) The phage DNA is incorporated by crossing over into any nonspecific site on the host cell's DNA

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1. Mutation is the correct option. First step towards genetic variation is mutation which can create entirely new alleles in a population.

Answer 2. The correct option is B.

Answer 3. The correct option is genetic uniformity (low number of allele variants). Drift increases the inbreeding coefficient and increases homozygosity as a result of removing alleles from a population.

Answer 4. Essentialism --> Aristotle

5. Essay on population --> Malthus

6. Uniformaltariatism --> Lyell

7. Transformism --> Lamarck

8. Adaptive Radiation --> Darwin

Answer 9. The correct option is A. Lysogenic cycle is characterized by the large numbers of phage production in the host cell that eventually leads to the lysis of host cell.
