Treatment Resistant STI Quiz 2

A   It takes decades or longer for organisms to evolve by natural selection.

B   Resistance alleles in the bacterial populations in the human body are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

C   Bacteria can mutate in order to be immune to antibiotics.

D   Humans have provided the selection pressure that results in more harmful strains of bacteria. 

E   Bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics much more slowly than humans can invent new antibiotics.

A   not a heritable trait.

B   subject to stabilizing selection. 

C   subject to directional selection.

D   subject to disruptive selection.

E   a strong predictor of adult weight.

A   The basic shapes of fish, penguins, and dolphins are vestigial structures.

B   The similarities are probably due to random chance.

C   Divergent evolution and adaptive radiation into new niches often result in convergent evolution.

D   Parallel evolution is common among aquatic mammals.

E   Fish, penguins, and dolphins all faced the same physical constraints during their evolution and converged upon the same body plan.

B   more intricate adaptations.

C   organisms that are stronger.

D   organisms that are perfectly adapted to their environments

E   None of the above is correct. 

A  Only choices a) and c) are correct.

B  Migration of individuals into a population generally increases the genetic variability within a population.

C  Migration of individuals into a population generally causes no change in the genetic variability within a population because it is a case of artificial selection.

D  Migration of individuals into a population generally causes that population to diverge to the extent that it becomes a new species.

E  Migration of individuals into a population generally decreases the genetic variability within a population.

A   its members must possess inheritable variation. 

B   it must have a small population size.

C   individuals must be migrating in and out of the population.

D   the mutation rate must be low.

E   it must be in an unstable environment.
