Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

17 notecards = 5 pages (4 cards per page)

Evolution Lab

front 1

Why are 2 beads assigned to each individual in the simulation?

back 1

The beads represent alleles

front 2

Evolution is a theory.

back 2

True

front 3

Although it has been traditionally describedas "survival of the fittest", Charles Darwin's mechanism for evolution is more accurately described as "survival of the more fit.”

back 3

True

front 4

As a group of species are placed in an evolutionary sequence by biologists, that sequenceis irrefutable and not subject to change or debate.

back 4

False

front 5

Positive selection increases the chance of survival and reproduction.

back 5

True

front 6

Does the presence of more complexity in terms ofanatomy and/or physiology always indicate that an animal is newer in evolutionary history?

back 6

No, because evolution is the result of selection for desirable traits, not necessarily more complex traits

front 7

For this question, we will utilize a population of Martians that is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. The dominant Martian phenotype is the possession of 2 antennae. In this population, 84 of the Martians have 2 antennae, while 16 lack antennae. What is the frequency of heterozygotes in this population?

A. 0.16

B. 0.4

C. 0.6

D. 0.24

E. 0.48

back 7

Answer A

front 8

What is true about positive selection for a trait? Check all that apply.

A. The frequency of the trait increases

B. Survival of those with the trait is enhanced

C. Reproduction of those with the trait is more likely

D. Future generations of offspring of parents with the trait are more likely to survive

back 8

Answer A, B, C

front 9

Change in a DNA sequence that affects genetic information

back 9

Mutations

front 10

Proportion of individuals in a certain category relative to the total number of individual considered

back 10

Frequency

front 11

Enables us to calculate and predict allelic and genotypic frequencies

Allows for the prediction of allelic & genotypic frequencies

Allele frequency
p + q = 1 (dominant + recessive alleles)
0.5 + 0.5 = 1

Genotypic frequency
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 (BB + Bb + bb = 1)
0.25 + 0.50 + 0.25 = 1

back 11

The Hardy-Weinberg Principle

front 12

Population is large enough to overcome random events.

Choice of mates is random

Mutation does not occur

Individuals do not migrate into or our of the population

There is no selection pressure.

back 12

The Hardy-Weinberg Principle Assumptions

front 13

An individual able to survive in environment
An individual able to reproduce

back 13

Fitness

front 14

Frequency in favorable traits for an environment increase and the nature of the population will gradually change
