Southern BIOLOGY 4306 – Which of the following

Question 1Which of the following is the BEST test for the theory of natural selection?Using artificial selection to produce different breeds of dogsExposing a population of rapidly replicating organisms to selection that kills a large percentage over the course of many generations and then comparing the final generation to a population that was not exposed to the variableObserving a group of rapidly replicating organisms for many generations and seeing if there was any change in their genes relative to the original populationIntroducing chimpanzees to different social settings in order to see how their behavior can be changed5 points Question 2Which of the following BEST describes why the process of evolution is easier to study in fruit flies than in birds?Fruit flies have a much shorter generation time than birds.Fruit flies are smaller than birds.Fruit flies have a simpler diet than birds.Fruit flies do not live as long as birds.5 points Question 3Polar bears from the Arctic do not produce offspring with the speckled bear of South America due to:temporal isolation.gamete incompatibility.behavioral isolation.spatial isolation.5 points Question 4The number of cases of Tuberculosis (TB) has risen because:TB learned to survive antibiotic treatment.random mutation has resulted in antibiotic resistant TB.antibiotics do not treat TB.there are not enough sanatoriums for treatment.5 points Question 5Which of the following groupings is the MOST appropriate according to the classification system developed by Linnaeus?Group 1: whale, giant fruit bat, giant walking stick (an insect); Group 2: penguin, ostrich, human; Group 3: hummingbird, bee, water strider bugGroup 1: penguin, ostrich, hummingbird; Group 2: water strider bug, giant walking stick (an insect); Group 3: whale, human, giant fruit batGroup 1: hummingbird, ostrich, bee; Group 2: whale, human, penguin; Group 3: giant walking stick (an insect), water strider bug, giant fruit batGroup 1: penguin, water strider bug, whale; Group 2: ostrich, giant walking stick (an insect), human; Group 3: hummingbird, bee, giant fruit bat5 points Question 6Put the following in order of most inclusive to specific. – 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
