cha org rote in Notes on the State of Virginia (1784), "Such is the economy of nature, that no instance can ng permitted any one race of animals to become extinct; of her having formed any link in her as to be broken." This statement is in contradiction to: sh Which of thesc ons should completely prevent the occurrence of natural selection in a population over time? A) The population size is very large. b) lhe popuation does not compete with other species. C) All variation in the population is due only to environmental factors. D) The population is in a very slowly changing environment. 0 3.) The photo depicts a lizard from Australia. The reduced hind limb of this reptile is circled. Since this structure no longer serves for locomotion, it would likely be classified as . A) A synapomorphic structure B) A homoplastic structure C) An symplesiomorphic structure D) A vestigial structure 4.) Which of the following is inferred by natural selection? A) An individual organism undergoes evolution over the course of its lifetime. B) Habitats generally lack unlimited resources. C) Increased numbers of individuals should possess adaptive traits in later generations. D) Individuals in natural populations tend to reproduce to their full potential. 5.) Which of the following best explains why a cormorant (a type of oceanic bird) on the Galapagos Islands cannot fly while all other closely related Neotropical cormorant species from the Americas are excellent flyers? A) Individuals from the related Neotropical species may have acquired the ability to fly and then passed it on to their offspring. B) The ability to fly may have arisen independently by mutation in the related Neotropical species and was subject to directional selection. C) The ability to fly may have presented greater costs than benefits for the Galapagos population and was subjected to natural selection D) The ancestors of the Galapagos parrots experienced harmful mutations that forced them to lose their ability to fly. 6.) A population of birds is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with respect to a gene with two alleles, A frequency of the a allele is O.1. What is the frequency of individuals that are heterozygous for this allele? A) 0.18 B) 0.36 C) 0.27 D) 0.81Explanation / Answer
2) The answer is C.
All the variations in the population is due only to environmental factors.
