an
organism survive appear quickly.
A. True
B. False

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Adaptions that help an organism survive appear slowly over time due to the fact that natural selection takes lifetimes to make a big effect.

Dr. Nachman and his colleagues collected rock pocket mice across 35 kilometers of the Arizona Sonoran Desert, which included both dark, rocky lava outcrops and light, rocky, granite areas. They recorded substrate color, and coat-color frequencies for each location. Each site was separated from any of the others by at least eight kilometers. The researchers trapped a total of 275 mice. Their data are summarized below (numbers have been slightly modified for the purposes of this worksheet).

Field Data Summary
Collecting Site Substrate Color Number of Mice Phenotype
Light Dark
1 Dark 22 3 19
2 Light 80 74 6
3 Light 22 19 3
4 Dark 28 3 25
5 Light 58 25 33
6 Dark 65 9 56
1. Calculate the overall frequencies of light-colored mice and dark-colored mice caught on light-colored substrates.
2. Calculate the overall frequencies of light-colored mice and dark-colored mice caught on dark-colored substrates.
3.Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation and data from the table above, determine the frequency of the three genotypes on the light, rocky, granite substrate.
4. Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation and data from the table above, determine the frequency of the three genotypes on the dark, rocky lava substrate.
5. Which fur color seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage?
6.What environmental change gave a selective advantage for one coat color over another?
7. In a separate study, 76 rock pocket mice were collected from four different, widely separated areas of dark lava rock. One collecting site was in Arizona. The other three were in New Mexico. Dr. Nachman and colleagues observed no significant differences in the color of the rocks in the four locations sampled. However, the dark-colored mice from the three New Mexico locations were slightly darker than the dark-colored mice from the Arizona population. The entire Mc1r gene was sequenced in all 76 of the mice collected. The mutations responsible for the dark fur color in the Arizona mice were absent from the three different populations of New Mexico mice. No Mc1r mutations were associated with dark fur color in the New Mexico populations. These findings suggest that adaptive dark coloration has occurred at least twice in the rock pocket mouse and that these similar phenotypic changes have different genetic bases. How does this study support the concept that natural selection is not random?
8. To determine if the rock pocket mouse population is evolving, explain why it is necessary to collect fur color frequency data over a period of many years.

Question 4 (2 points)
Move the growth rate r slider to its lowest value of 0.1, then gradually increase it. What happens to the population size as you increase the growth rate (the r slider)?



Question 4 options:

As the growth rate increases, the population size moves up and down rapidly.


As the growth rate increases, the population size stays the same.


As the growth rate increases, the population size decreases more rapidly. The slope flattens out.


As the growth rate increases, the population size increases more rapidly. The slope becomes steeper.

Question 5 (2 points)
Set the growth rate at r = 0.5, and make N0 = 500 individuals. What is N when t = 8? To answer this question, you will have to rescale the graph so that you can see the higher values of N: Click on the gear icon and change the Max value of Pop. (N0) to 30,000.

30,000


27,299


500

Question 6 (2 points)
The initial values for the fog beetle population are as follows:

Initial # of fog beetles (N0) = 2,000,

birth rate=.88 (b)

death rate= .05 (d)



What is the calculated population growth rate (r) for the beetles?

Growth Rate(r) = birth rate (b)- death rate (d)

Question 6 options:

.88


.05

**write the number in the following format xxx,xxx** Don't include a label

Question 7 options:
Question 8 (2 points)
The growth rate you entered into the model predicts that the population growth of fog beetles will start to slow down and decline as time continues.

Question 8 options:
True
False
Question 9 (2 points)
What are two possible limiting factors that might cause the population of fog beetles to level off?

Question 9 options:

Disease and predators


habitat loss and more beetles immigrating to the desert


Natural disasters and more beetles immigrating to the desert


None of the above

Question 10 (2 points)
If a parasite began attacking the fog beetles increasing their death rate to .12, how would this change alter the growth rate of the fog beetles (remember r=b-d, use the information from the initial question about fog beetles)?

Question 10 options:

An increase in death rate would cause the growth rate to decrease to .76


An increase in death rate would cause the growth rate to increase to .98


An increase in death rate would not cause a change to the growth rate

Question 11 (2 points)
How would this new growth rate influence the population size at time t = 10?

(The old growth rate was .83 )

Question 11 options:

The new growth rate would result in a decrease of 2 million fog beetles over the course of 10 years.


The new growth rate would result in an increase of 4 thousand fog beetles over the course of 10 years.


The new growth rate would result in a decrease of about 4 million fog beetles over the course of 10 years.


There would be no change to the population after 10 years.

Question 12 (2 points)
The kudu population will reach its carrying capacity right around the 35 year mark (You may need to change the max value of t and adjust the max value of k to optimize the graph display).

Question 12 options:
True
False
Question 13 (2 points)
Assume a new plot of land is added to the park, increasing the carrying capacity to 350 kudu. How will the population size change?

Question 13 options:

The population would continue to grow at the same rate until it hit 200 and then it would grow at a slower rate until it reached 350 kudu


The population would continue to grow until it hit the new carrying capacity.


It would provide more space for the trophy hunters to move in and hunt the kudu.

Question 14 (2 points)
Reset the carrying capacity back to 200. Trophy hunters move into the area, leading to an increased death rate, which decreases the growth rate r to 0.15. How would this impact the population size? (Hint: Look at when the population reaches its carrying capacity, look at the T value)

Question 14 options:

The kudu would grow at a very slow rate for 30 years and then the growth rate would slow down.


It would take about 25 more years for the kudu to reach their carrying capacity.


The population would reach its peak in the first 10 years


none of the above
