  1. What does mutation create in a population that is necessary for any of the other forces of evolution to cause a change of alleles?

genetic variation

  1. If natural selection results in certain phenotypes with higher fitness, why aren't unfavorable alleles and/or genotypes quickly eliminated from the population?

The recessive allele still exists in the heterozygotes. (could still be there, but doesn't show up)

  1. What is the relatedness of a sexually reproducing individual to one of its parents?

50% mom, 50% dad

  1. How does the karyotype of a female human differ from that of a human male?

XY-male, XX-female

  1. What is the process called when a cell divides to form a sex cell?

meiosis

  1. The biological species concept is not usefuk for organisms known only from fossils because

a morphologically extinct species are indeed discrete groups, differing in many ways besides their body forms

  1. The largest unit within which gene flow can readily occur is a

species

  1. Males of different species of the fruit fly Drosophila that live in the same parts of the Hawaiian Islands have different elaborate courtship rituals that involve fighting other males and stylized movements that attract females. What type of reproductive isolation does this represent?

behavioral isolation (prezygotic barrier)

  1. Which of the following factors would not contribute to allopatric speciation?

separation geographically

  1. Plant species A has a diploid number of 12. Plant species B has a diploid number of 16. A new species, C, arises as an allopolyploid from A and B. The likely diploid number for species C would probably be
