The Five Fingers of Evolution

What is a gene pool?

• All the different genes within an interbreeding population

• All the dominant genes within an interbreeding population

• All the recessive genes within a interbreeding population

• All genes within a general area of land

How do you know when evolution has occurred?

• When the gene pool remains the same over time

• When the frequency of a gene has changed over time

• When an animal learns a new skill

• When analogous structures are observed between organisms

Which mechanism shows genes leaving (immigration) or coming into (emigration) a gene pool?

• mutations
• natural selection
• gene flow
• non-random mating

During gestation (pregnancy), a developing male pig had a change in his genetic code. The result was that he was able to walk and do karate.

• Genetic Drift
• Non-random mating
• Mutation
• Natural Selection

Wolves from the Arizona mesa were transferred to the Colorado Rockies after a forest fire destroyed their habitat. They quickly became part of the local pack and had offspring.

7 Wild Mustangs were taken from the prairies of Iowa after a Texan Rancher purchased them and provided them with their own pasture. Those 7 Mustangs eventually became 122.

• Genetic Drift (small popultaion)
• Non-random mating
