Please Read the Instructions First
Check your pages. There are 15 pages in this exam.
You are responsible for making sure that you have all the pages.
This examination is worth 130 points.
Write your name, ID#, and Lab. Section on your scantron.
Multiple Choice Questions
1. Indicate your answers on the scantron sheet using a number 2 or test scoring pencil. Press
heavily, don’t stray out of the margins, and completely erase any changed answers.
2. If you think that a multiple choice question is ambiguous or confusing, use the “gripe sheet” at
the end of the examination to explain the problem.
3. There are 45 multiple choice questions worth 2 points each.
Fill-in Questions
1. Use pen only (no grade corrections for pencil or white–out).

given any credit if you write two different answers to the question.
3. Spelling rules: ½ credit for 2–3 letters wrong or transposed. No points will be given if the
misspelling alters the meaning of the word.

47. List two distinguishing characteristics of the Class Mammalia that separate this taxon from
other vertebrate classes. (2 pts)
A. presence of hair
B. mammary glands
two occipital condyles
others also include hard palate, sebaceous glands, three bones in the middle ear, etc.
48. Define heterochrony and explain its evolutionary significance. (3 pts)
Definition: Heterochrony is the evolutionary change in the timing of development of
characteristics from ancestor to descendant.
Evolutionary significance: By changing the timing that regulates growth of the body and
sexual maturity, new phenotypes may result. E.g., urochordates with paedomorphic
tadpole larvae have given rise to vertebrates.
49. Give the common name of one organism discussed in class where the male mates with the
female and then stands guard over the female to keep other males from mating with her.

51. What type of symmetry and cephalization would you expect from a sessile, filter–feeding
organism? (2 pts)

53. A population of beetles has two alleles for body color, mottled and blue. Mottled is
dominant to blue. A researcher determines that a sample of 200 beetles is comprised of 130
12
mottled and 70 blue beetles. 100 of the 200 beetles are heterozygous (Bb). Is this population
in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium?

Observed and expected genotype frequencies are nearly identical so YES, the
population is in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium.
54. Many humans eventually have their wisdom teeth removed. Some people are born with four
wisdom teeth, others are born with two, and some people never have them at all. Describe
the necessary conditions for the evolution by natural selection of the complete loss of
wisdom teeth in humans. [Be sure to keep your answer specific to this example of loss of
wisdom teeth.] (4 pts)
Individuals without wisdom teeth would have to have greater fitness than individuals
without wisdom teeth. There would have to be differential survival and/or
reproduction leading to only people without wisdom teeth.
