Name: Unit 4.3: Natural Selection Study Guide 1. Define Natural Selection: 2. What are Darwin’s observations that lead to his theory of Natural Selection? - Organisms have more ____________________ than can survive. - Individuals in populations have differences called __________________________. - Some of these differences are ____________________________________. - Organisms with the favorable genes ___________________ and _________________________. 3. If an organism is well-adapted to its environment, what is likely to happen? 4. If an organism is NOT well adapted to its environment, what is likely to happen? 5. Explain why these statements are incorrect: a. Adaptations that are favorable in one environment will be favorable in all environments. b. All of the different species in one environment will all have the same adaptations to survive in that environment. c. An adaptation that is favorable in an environment today, will always be favorable in that environment. 6. Using the population and variations in fur color below, come up with an example for each type of natural selection AND explain how the population would change over time. Stabilizing Directional 7. What is the difference between acquired characteristics and genetic characteristics? 8. How do bacteria become resistant to antibiotics (medicine that kills bacteria)? Disruptive Use the pictures with each question below to explain an answer: 9. How does founder effect cause changes in allelic frequencies in a gene pool? 10. How does genetic drift in the form of natural disasters change allelic frequencies in a gene pool? 11. How does gene flow cause changes in allelic frequencies in a gene pool? 12. What is the gene frequency of the dark color in each of the populations below? a. b. 13. What is speciation? AND, What causes speciation to occur? Provide an example. 14. Explain why each of the following would keep a gene pool from changing: a. No mutations in DNA: b. All mating is random: c. No natural selection/ No beneficial traits: p² + 2pq + q² = 1 and p+q=1 15. In the Hardy Weinberg equation, what does each of the following represent? p: q: p²: 2pq: q²: Explain the following: 16. If you are given q, how do you find p? 17. If you are given p, how do you find p²? 18. If you know q and p, how do you figure out 2pq? 19. If you are given q², how do you figure out q? 20. q= .13 What is AA? Aa? aa?
