BIO-107 test 1 Questions and Answers 100% Solved Microevolution Evolutionary change below the species level; Change in allele frequencies over generations. It is called micro evolution because it focuses on evolution in population, which is the smallest scale. (individuals do not evolve.) 3 mechanisms that cause allele change Natural seletion, genetic drift( chance events that alter allele frequencies), and gene flow (the transfer of alleles between populations). Population is a group...

Correlations between any two given variables may be due to causative effects. True or False? - ANSWER True Because randomized experimental studies are the gold standard of scientific research studies, ecologists only use this study design in their research. True or False? - ANSWER False A deoxyribose nucleotide comprises of __________________________________. - ANSWER a phosphate group, a 5-C deoxyribose sugar, a nitrogenous base Meiosis is the division of one cell into 2 identical daug...

Why is the scientific method bad? - Answer-It is oversimplified, it implies that an experiment can answer a research question. Science isn't linear. It implies science is an independent effort, no creativity or imagination, and it ignores technology and society What is a theory? - Answer-Theories are broad explanations. They are supported by lines o evidence, with no contradictory evidence. Therefore the evolutionary theory isn't just a "theory" Why don't community analysis and feedbac...

SCIN130 Chapter 15 Test Questions with Correct Answers Natural Selection - Answer-the process that results in adaptation of a population to the biotic and abiotic environments. Polygenic - Answer-controlled by more than one pair of alleles located at different gene loci Directional Selection - Answer-occurs when an extreme phenotype is favored and the distribution curve shifts in that direction. Example: resistance to antibiotics and pesticides Stabilizing Selection - Answer-Occurs wh...
