ACTIVE LECTURES Using Classroom Response Systems Chapter 15: How Organisms Evolve Copyright © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that causes staph infections in hospitals. How do bacteria gain resistance to an antibiotic? 1. 2. 3. 4. Treatment with an antibiotic causes the bacteria to mutate to adapt to the antibiotic. The antibiotic stimulates the growth of bacterial cells. Some of the bacteria already have a mutation that confers resistance to the antibiotic, allowing them to survive and pass on the advantageous gene to their offspring. The hospital environment causes the bacteria to mutate. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that causes staph infections in hospitals.

A species and its interaction with its environment The biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem An individual organism and its niche A group of interbreeding individuals that live in the same place at the same time and have the capacity to produce fertile offspring What is a population? 1. 2. 3. 4.

Gene flow. Small population size. Random mating. Natural selection. Evolutionary change occurs in association with all of the following except: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Mutations. Gene flow. Small population size. Random mating. Natural selection. Why are mutations significant to populations? 1. 2. 3. 4. Mutations produce genetic variation in a population. If the environment changes, part of the population will likely survive. Mutations prevent genetic variation in a population. If the environment changes, part of the population will likely survive. Mutations select for the most beneficial trait. If the environment changes, part of the population will survive. Mutations weed out the weakest individuals in a population.

Two populations of gorillas, one living in the mountains and one living in the valley, no longer mate or exchange alleles in their gene pools. What can happen? 1. 2. 3. 4. With no gene flow, the two populations will remain identical to each other. With no gene flow, the two populations may become so different that they become different species. With no gene flow, each population will have an increased number of mutations. With no gene flow, the two populations will express their alleles or show their traits differently.

Why does genetic drift affect a small population more than it affects a large population? 1. A small population will be left with more allele variations. 2. A chance event is more likely to eliminate an allele from a small population, leaving it with reduced allelic variation. 3. Genetic drift always kills off small populations. 4. A small population will experience gene flow. Why does genetic drift affect a small population more than it affects a large population? 1.

Why do many purebred German shepherds, golden retrievers, and Doberman pinschers have hip dysplasia and related joint disorders? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Breeding is random. Breeding is not random. They are from a small population. They are from a large population. They exhibit gene flow in a population.

The strongest organisms will always survive. 2. Those organisms with the most advantageous traits must mate. 3. Individuals with advantageous traits survive to pass the traits on to their offspring. 4. There is an origin of the species. Why is natural selection also called “survival of the fittest”? 1.

Newts of the genus Taricha are poisonous, deterring their predators from eating them. The common garter snake, a predator, has evolved a resistance to the newt toxins.
