Question

Match the terms with their corresponding definition. Terms should be used once. Selection based on inclusive fitness. Allelic variation at one locus that affects multiple phenotypes, such as an allele that affects both corolla tube length and stem thickness in monkey flowers. Consistent (average) differences in reproductive success among a set of biological entities. Long-continued dependence of related species on much the same resources and environmental conditions. A potential cause of discordance between gene trees that are constructed based on data from different loci. The most common kind of parthenogenesis, where meiosis is suppressed and an offspring develops from an unfertilized egg. In the context of mate choice, this terms refers to the inherent tendency to react to exaggerated stimuli. An isolating mechanism that enhances prezygotic barriers. The idea that the production of genetic and phenotypic variation is structured in a way that makes adaptive evolution more likely. The proportion of phenotypic variance that is due to additive genetic differences among individuals. A. Inbreeding depression B. Horizontal gene transfer C. Reinforcement D. Phylogenetic niche conservatism E. Kin selection F. Pleiotropy G. Diversifying selection H. Heredity l. Evolvability J. Natural selection K. Epistasis L. Sensory bias M. Apomixis

Explanation / Answer

selection based on inclusive fitness- kin selection

Allelic variation at one locus that affects multiple phenotypes such as an allele that affect both the corolla length and stem thickness in monkey flowers- pleiotropy

Consistent differences in reproductive success among the biological entities- natural selection

Long continued dependence of related species on much the same resource and environmental conditions-phylogenetic niche conservatism

A potential cause of discordance between gene trees that are constructed based on data from different loci-

The most kind of parthenogenesis where meiosis is suppressed and an offspring develops from unfertilized egg- Apomixis

In the context of male choice this term refer sto inherent tendency to react to exaggerated stimuli- sensory bias

An isolating mechanism that enhances prezygotic barriers- inbreeding depression

The idea that the production of genetic and phenotypic variation is structured in a way that makes adaptive evolution more likely- Horizontal gene transfer

The proportion of phenotypic variance that s due to additive genetic differnce among individuals- Heredity
