Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 14 Mendel and the Gene Idea The questions in Chapter 14 are mostly at the Application/Analysis skill level. The material in the chapter invites students to apply Mendel?s laws, and by doing so encourages problem solving. Because of the human-related Concept 14.4, a fair number of Synthesis/Evaluation questions are included as well. Very little of the chapter lends itself to Knowledge/Comprehension questions only. In addition, to help students make maximum use of information presented about one or more specific traits, a greater number of questions than usual is grouped together to explore brief scenarios or figures. Multiple-Choice Questions 1) What do we mean when we use the terms monohybrid cross and dihybrid cross?

What are the four manners in which this book focused biologists? attention on the great diversity of organisms? What are the two points that Darwin made in his book? What is natural selection? What is the result of natural selection? In what two ways did this book ?rock the house,? in other words why was it truly radical? What was the conventional paradigm (the prevailing view) of life at the time of Darwin?s publication? Plato was one of the philosophers that had great influence on western culture. What was Plato?s view of life? How about Aristotle, what was his view? Explain the philosophy that dominated biology in the 1700s.

ANNALS OF HUMAN BIOLOGY, 1978, VOL. 5, NO. 5, 487--489 Natural selection and birthweight N. BLURTON JONES Department of Growth and Development, Institute of Child Health, University of London [Received 23 March 1978; revised 6 May 1978] Summary. Mean birthweight, even before induced births became commonplace, is slightly lower than the birthweight at which peri- natal mortality is lowest. This finding, once hard to explain by natural selection, is shown to be exactly in line with predictions from natural selection theory. 1. Introduction Karn and Penrose (1952) showed that mean birthweight in man was slightly lower than the "optimum" birthweight, defined as the weight at which perinatal

CHAPTER 23 THE EVOLUTION OF POPULATIONS OUTLINE I. Population Genetics A. The modern evolutionary synthesis integrated Darwinian selection and Mendelian inheritance B. The genetic structure of a population is defined by its allele and genotype frequencies C. The Hardy-Weinberg theorem describes a nonevolving population II. Causes of Microevolution A. Microevolution is a generation-to-generation change in a population's allele or genotype frequencies B. The five causes of microevolution are genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, nonrandom mating, and natural selection III. Genetic Variation, the Substrate for Natural Selection A. Genetic variation occurs within and between populations B. Mutation and sexual recombination generate genetic variation

Chapter 22: Descent with Modification: Darwinian View of Life?Lecture Outline Overview: Darwin Introduces a Revolutionary Theory On November 24, 1859, Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. Darwin?s book drew a cohesive picture of life by connecting what had once seemed a bewildering array of unrelated facts. Darwin made two major points in The Origin of Species: Today?s organisms descended from ancestral species that were different from modern species. Natural selection provided a mechanism for this evolutionary change. The basic idea of natural selection is that a population can change over time if individuals that possess certain heritable traits leave more offspring than other individuals.

Natural Selection: The biological process by which variations that enhance a populations ability to survive in a particular environment become dominant in a species over very long periods and lead to evolution of a new species. Africa was thought of the origin of all humans because of the large populations of apes even though there was no evidence.

Natural selection is one of the basic mechanisms of evolution, along with mutation, migration, and genetic drift. Darwin's grand idea of evolution by natural selection is relatively simple but often misunderstood. To find out how it works, imagine a population of beetles: There is variation in traits. For example, some beetles are green and some are brown. There is differential reproduction. Since the environment can't support unlimited population growth, not all individuals get to reproduce to their full potential. In this example, green beetles tend to get eaten by birds and survive to reproduce less often than brown beetles do. There is heredity. The surviving brown beetles have brown baby beetles because this trait has a genetic basis. End result:
