  1. Biology Ch. 16 Review

  2. Which of the following statements describe what all members of a population share? • They are temporally isolated from each other. • They are geographically isolated from each other. • They are members of the same species. • They have identical genes.

  3. All the genes of all members of a particular population make up the population’s • relative frequency. • phenotype. • genotype. • gene pool.

  4. Which statement below about gene pools is typically true? • They contain two or more alleles for each inheritable trait. • They contain only dominant alleles. • They belong to two or more interbreeding species. • The relative frequencies of the alleles never change.

  5. If an allele makes up one fourth of a population’s alleles for a given trait, its relative frequency is • 100 percent. • 75 percent. • 25 percent. • 4 percent.

  6. Interbreeding among members of a population results in • different types of alleles in the gene pool. • changes in the relative frequencies of alleles in the gene pool. • no changes in the relative frequencies of alleles in the gene pool. • an absence of genetic variation in the population.

  7. In a population, the sum of the relative frequencies of all alleles for a particular trait is • equal to 100 percent. • equal to the number of alleles for the trait. • constantly changing. • dependent on the number of alleles.

  8. A change in a sequence of DNA is called a • recombination. • polygenic trait. • single-gene trait. • mutation.

  9. The two main sources of genetic variation are • genotypes and phenotypes. • gene shuffling and mutations. • single-gene traits and polygenic traits. • directional selection and disruptive selection.

  10. In many kinds of organisms, inheritable differences are due mostly to • mutations during gamete formation. • polygenic traits. • gene shuffling during gamete formation. • the effects of radiation.

  11. Gene shuffling includes the independent movement of chromosomes during meoisis as well as • mutations from radiation. • changes in the frequencies of alleles. • crossing-over. • mutations from chemicals.

  12. In a particular population, sexual reproduction can produce • mutations. • many different phenotypes. • new allele frequencies. • meiosis.

  13. The gene shuffling that occurs as part of sexual reproduction • changes the gene pool’s allele frequencies. • does not change the gene pool’s allele frequencies. • keeps the phenotypes consistent. • is caused by radiation or chemicals.

  14. A single-gene trait that has two alleles and that shows a simple dominant-recessive pattern will result in • one phenotype. • two phenotypes. • four phenotypes. • millions of phenotypes.

  15. An example of a single-gene trait is • widow’s peak in humans. • weight of human infants at birth. • height in humans. • beak size in the Galápagos finches.

  16. The number of phenotypes produced for a given trait depends upon • the number of genes that control the trait. • which form of the trait is dominant. • the relative frequencies of the various alleles. • the relationship of allele frequencies to Mendelian ratios.

  17. The phenotypes for a typical polygenic trait can often be expressed as • a bar graph. • a bell-shaped curve. • Mendelian ratios. • allele frequencies.

  18. Compared to a polygenic trait, a single-gene trait tends to have • fewer phenotypes. • more phenotypes. • the same number of phenotypes. • phenotypes that form a bell-shaped curve.

  19. A polygenic trait can have • many possible genotypes, but few possible phenotypes. • many possible genotypes, producing many possible phenotypes. • fewer phenotypes than most single-gene traits. • fewer genotypes than most single-gene traits.

  20. Natural selection acts directly on • alleles. • genes. • phenotypes. • mutations.

  21. Which of the following is NOT a way in which natural selection affects the distribution of phenotypes? • directional selection • stabilizing selection • disruptive selection • chance events

  22. When individuals at only one end of a bell curve of phenotype frequencies have high fitness, the result is • directional selection. • stabilizing selection. • disruptive selection. • genetic drift.

  23. When individuals with an average form of a trait have the highest fitness, the result is • not predictable. • disruptive selection. • directional selection. • stabilizing selection.

  24. In a population of finches in which one group of birds has a short, parrotlike beak and another group has a long, narrow beak, what process has probably occurred? • directional selection • disruptive selection • stabilizing selection • genetic drift

  25. If a mutation introduces a new skin color in a lizard population, which factor might determine whether the frequency of the new allele will increase? • how many other alleles are present • whether the mutation makes some lizards more fit for their environment than other lizards • how many phenotypes the population has • whether the mutation was caused by nature or by human intervention

  26. In genetic drift, allele frequencies change because of • mutations. • chance. • natural selection. • genetic equilibrium.

  27. Which of the following events do biologists consider a random change? • directional selection • speciation • disruptive selection • genetic drift

  28. Genetic drift tends to occur in populations that • are very large. • are small. • are formed from new species. • have unchanging allele frequencies.

  29. The type of genetic drift that follows the colonization of a new habitat by a small group of individuals is called • the Hardy-Weinberg principle. • the founder effect. • directional selection. • stabilizing selection.

  30. One similarity between natural selection and genetic drift is that both events • are based completely on chance. • begin with one or more mutations. • involve a change in a population’s allele frequencies. • take place only in very small groups.

  31. The situation in which allele frequencies of a population remain constant is called • evolution. • genetic drift. • genetic equilibrium. • natural selection.

  32. One of the conditions required to maintain genetic equilibrium is • natural selection. • mutations. • nonrandom mating. • no movement into or out of the population.

  33. The genetic equilibrium of a population can be disturbed by each of the following EXCEPT • nonrandom mating. • movement into and out of the population. • a large population size. • mutations.

  34. The allele frequencies of a population are more likely to remain unchanged if • the population size is reduced. • frequent movement into and out of the population occurs. • all mating is random. • the mutation rate increases.

  35. According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, genetic equilibrium would be more likely in a population of mice if • the population size rapidly decreases. • mutation rates within the population rise. • no natural selection takes place. • there is frequent movement into and out of the population.

  36. Which factor would most likely disrupt genetic equilibrium in a large population? • the production of large numbers of offspring • mating that is not random • the absence of movement into and out of the population • the absence of mutations

  37. The separation of populations by barriers such as rivers, mountains, or bodies of water is called • temporal isolation. • geographic isolation. • behavioral isolation. • genetic equilibrium.

  38. A factor that is necessary for the formation of a new species is • reproduction at different times. • geographic barriers. • different mating behaviors. • reproductive isolation.

  39. What situation might develop in a population having some plants whose flowers open at midday and other plants whose flowers open late in the day? • behavioral isolation • geographic isolation • temporal isolation • genetic drift

  40. The geographic isolation of two populations of a species tends to increase differences between their gene pools because it • prevents interbreeding between the populations. • prevents interbreeding within each population. • causes temporal isolation of the two populations. • increases differences in courtship behavior.

  41. Although they often live in the same habitat, the American toad breeds earlier in the spring than the Fowler’s toad does. What can be inferred from this information? • The two species do not interbreed because of geographic isolation. • The two species do not interbreed because of temporal isolation. • The two species interbreed throughout the spring season. • The American toad will cause the extinction of the Fowler’s toad.

  42. Which is the first step that occurred in the speciation of the Galápagos finches? • establishing genetic equilibrium • behavioral isolation • ecological competition • arrival of the founding population

  43. The Galápagos finch species are an excellent example of • speciation. • genetic equilibrium. • stabilizing selection. • selection on single-gene traits.

  44. What did Peter and Rosemary Grant learn about mate choice from the Galápagos finches? • Phenotype plays no role in mate choice. • Finches prefer mates with beaks similar in size to their own. • Finches prefer mates with smaller beaks than their own. • Finches prefer mates with larger beaks than their own.

  45. In Rosemary and Peter Grant’s study of the Galápagos finches, what process was encouraged by ecological competition during the dry season? • stabilizing selection • disruptive selection • directional selection • genetic drift

  46. Which statement about evolution in the Galápagos finches is true? • Natural selection on beak size and shape is driven by available food. • Stabilizing selection has favored an intermediate beak type for all of the finches. • Mate choice likely plays no role in the finches’ evolution. • None of the finch species is reproductively isolated.

  47. Because all members of a population can interbreed, biologists often study their genes as a single group. • True • False

  48. In a gene pool, as the relative frequency of one allele for a trait increases, the relative frequencies of other alleles for that trait decrease. • True • False

  49. Most inheritable differences are due to mutations that occur during the production of gametes. • True • False

  50. Mutations do not always affect an organism’s genotype—its physical, behavioral, and biochemical characteristics. • True • False
