Question
Which of the following does NOT correctly match the term to the definition? A) Convergent evolution: Similarity in two species that is inherited from a common ancestor B) Population: A group of organisms that interbreed and live in the same place C) Genetic drift: Changes in allele frequencies due to random chance D) Allopatric speciation: Speciation associated with a geographic separation of populations E) Molecular clock: Use of DNA sequences to calculate evolutionary divergence from mutation rate. In humans, why would 'number of eyes' have a heritability of close to zero? A) Genes do not contribute to number of eyes B) Number of eyes is controlled by only one gene, and so is not a 'quantitative trait' C) Variation in number of eyes is not generally caused by genetics D) Number of eyes is controlled by a maternal effect loci F) Number of eyes is tightly correlated with number of kidneys, and thus cannot be effectively selected A) What is the most likely inheritance pattern for the pedigree above? ________ Write the genotypes for individuals II-1, and II-3, and III-4 on the pedigree above. Be sure to use an underscore, e.g., D_ if you cannot determine an allele for certain. B) If IV-2 and III-8 have a child, what is the probability they will be affected by the trait?Explanation / Answer
19) Convergent evolution is defined as the process in which the organisms that are not closely related (not a common ancestor) independently develop similar traits owing to its survival in similar environmental conditions.
Population is defined as group of species living in a particular habitat interbreeding among themselves. Changes in allelic frequency due to random chance is called as genetic drift. When speciation occurs due to geographical isolation, it is known as allopatric speciation. Molecular clock is the use of DNA sequence to calculate evolutionary divergence from mutation rate.
Therefore, the answer for this question is option (A). Convergent evolution: similarity in two species that is inherited from a common ancestor.
