Treatment Resistant STI Quiz 2

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

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

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

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

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

A   subject to directional selection.

B   a strong predictor of adult weight.

C   not a heritable trait.

D   subject to stabilizing selection. 

E   subject to disruptive selection.

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

B   The similarities are probably due to random chance.

C   Parallel evolution is common among aquatic mammals.

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

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

A   very similar DNA 

B   very different DNA

C   very different proteins

D   none of these, their is no relationship between DNA and relatedness

A   that reduce mortality.

B   that are acquired in an individual’s lifetime.

C   that are heritable. 

D   that are adaptive.

E   that confer a reproductive advantage.

A   organisms that are perfectly adapted to their environments

B   uniformity.

C   more intricate adaptations.

D   organisms that are stronger.

E   None of the above is correct. 

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

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

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

D  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.

E  Only choices a) and c) are correct.

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.

A   Nearly all STIs have severe and obvious ongoing symptoms.

B   STIs are annoying and uncomfortable but they are never fatal.

C   STIs can only be transmitted through sexual intercourse. 

D   STIs can be transmitted through the mouth or the anus.

E   Genital herpes can be treated and cured with antibiotics.
