Which of these statements is FALSE with regards to natural selection?

Selecciona una de las siguientes respuestas posibles:

Selection acts on the genotype, not the phenotype (trait); it can act only indirectly on the phenotype.
The heritability of phenotypic characters, sets the limits of natural selection.
Phenotypic characters or traits can be controlled by single genes or by polygenic inheritance.
It is populations and not individuals that evolve.
In terms of genetics, selection results in changes in gene frequencies from one generation to the next.

FITNESS

Darwinian fitness refers to the ability to ( survive, die ) and reproduce, it considers both ( viability, gene pool ) and ( fecundity, population size ). Fitness depends on the ( environment, government, era ), the fittest individual during an ice age is probably not the fittest individual once the ice age is over. ( Absolute fitness (W), Relative fitness (w) ) is a measure of the total number of offspring an individual produces. ( Relative fitness (w), Absolute fitness (W) ) is the contribution an individual makes to the gene pool of the next generation relative to the contribution of other individuals. Although it is often referred to as the relative fitness of a genotype, it is the ( whole organism, genotype ) that is subject to selection not the ( genotype, whole organism ).

CALCULATING RELATIVE FITNESS

MAJOR TYPES OF NATURAL SELECTION

Natural selection can change the frequency distribution of a heritable trait in three ways:

1. ❌ occurs when one of the extremes is favoured, driving the population in a particular direction. Directional selection is common when an environment changes or when individuals move to a new environment.
2. ❌ occurs when the extreme phenotypes are selected at the expense of intermediate forms.
3. ❌ acts against both extreme phenotypes and favours intermediates.

SEXUAL SELECTION

Darwin described a second form of selection - selection. This form of selection is the result of competition between individuals for . Sexual selection is argued to result in sexual diism in some species.

Explicación

Pregunta 10 de 18

1

Sexual selection can operate in two ways:

1. ❌ selection: individuals of the same sex competing directly, and is thought to occur between males in many species.

2. ❌ selection: or mate choice, occurs between different sexes, and is typically argued to occur when females select males.

HETEROZYGOTE ADVANTAGE

Heterozygote advantage occurs when individuals that are ( heterozygous, homozygous ) have a greater fitness than do either kind of ( homozygote, heterozygote ).

One example of heterozygote advantage is sickle-cell anaemia, in which heterozygotes are protected against the severe effects of malaria.

Although sickle-cell disease is lethal if not treated in some areas the sickle-cell allele has a frequency of 15-20%.

WHY NATURAL SELECTION CANNOT FASHION PERFECT ORGANISMS

Natural selection can lead to adaptation but there are many non-adaptive traits.
1. Selection can only act on ❌. New advantageous alleles ❌.
2. Evolution is limited by ❌. Evolution co-opts existing structures and adapts them to ❌ e.g. birds and bats have not grown new limbs to serve as wings but have
modified the forelimb.
3. Adaptations are often ❌. Each organism must do many things, that is, there can be many competing selective forces operating at the same time ❌.
4. Not all evolutionary change is ❌. There are forces acting in evolution that do not result in adaptation ❌.
5. Chance, natural selection and the environment interact. Chance events can affect the evolution of a
population. For example, not all the alleles in a ❌ are better suited to the new environment than the alleles ‘left behind’. Environments may ❌ limiting the extent to which natural selection can result in adaptation.

ADAPTATION AND EXAPTATION

❌ are characteristics or traits that have evolved by natural selection for their current function.
