7E: In the 1940s, the scientist J. B. S. Haldane linked many human red blood cells disorders with the tropical regions where malaria occurs. Haldane hypothesized that the widespread presence of these red blood cell disorders as well as traits that protect individuals from malaria were the result of natural selection. Haldane's hypothesis was later confirmed by the research of A. C. Allison. The resistance to malaria carried by individuals in areas where malaria is widespread is the result of:
a vaccine against malaria
the individuals' genetic composition
antibiotics medications
the individuals' behavior in avoiding those with infection

7A: Researchers studying populations of lizards from the genus Gallotia on the Canary Islands compared the protein cytochrome B in different populations. The table shows the number of differences in the cytochrome B protein between different populations. Which conclusion about the relatedness of the lizards do the data support?
G. atlantica and G. stehlini are the least closely related
G. simonyi and G. bravoana are the most closely related
G. galloti eisentrauti and G. galloti palmae are the most closely related
G. galloti eisentrauti and G. galloti galloti are the least closely related

Brown beetles undergo a greater number of unfavorable mutations than green beetles do
Green beetles have a greater gene frequency among their population than brown beetles have.
Brown beetles have a shorter life cycle than green beetles have.

7A: Bactrian camels, dromedaries, llamas, and alpacas are all members of the same taxonomic family, Camelidae. Members of this family all have two toes, no hooves, true canine teeth, and a split upper lip. The family Camelidae originated in North America. The physical features of animals in this family and the family's geographical origin provide evidence that all these animals:
Live in the same type of ecosystem
Have slowly evolved to become herbivores
Have a common ancestor
Exchanged DNA at some point in the past

7C: The quiver tree grows in desert areas in southern Africa. In recent decades, average temperatures have been rising in southern Africa. Scientists predict that this warming trend will continue. Quiver trees in the hottest parts of their range near the equator are dying, but quiver trees at high elevations or in parts of the range that are farther from the equator are growing and reproducing. Which of these best explains what is happening to the quiver tree population in southern Africa?
Individual quiver trees are unable to adjust to the rising temperatures, and only those in cooler parts of the range will survive
The quiver tree species is unable to survive rising temperatures throughout its range. The species is likely to undergo rapid extinction.
Individual quiver trees can quickly adapt to rising temperatures. Individual trees will change their method of seed dispersal in cooler parts of the range.
The quiver tree species will survive by producing offspring suited for warmer temperatures.

7D: The green frog (Lithobates clamitans clamitans) is found in many parts of the United States. The table contains some information about this frog. Why does the ability to lay 1,000 to 5,000 eggs increase the fitness of the species L. clamitans clamitans?
It increases opportunities for offspring to compete for limited resources
It increases the probability that some offspring will survive long enough to reproduce
It increases the probability that moving water will promote gene flow from one population to another.
It increases the chance of the recombination of alleles, leading to genetic drift in the population.
