Which of the following is an example of artificial selection?

• White tigers are becoming extinct, to overcome this a male and female white tiger are paired together in captivity to help their population continue to grow.

• A blue bird-of-paradise gets lost in a new area and mates with a red bird-of-paradise.

• A lizard with a long tail goes onto a container ship to find food and ends up staying on the ship while is moves from Europe to North America.

• Giant pandas over time develop a different type of tooth in order to change their diet because their preferred plant goes extinct.

Green rhinoceros beetles are some of the biggest beetles to exist on Earth. A green rhinoceros beetle leaves its group and migrates over to another group that only has red rhinoceros beetles and mates with the red beetles. This is an example of...

Undersea landslides can disrupt marine habitats by burying organisms that live on the ocean floor. The graph above shows the size of a population of a certain organism that lives on the ocean floor. The population was affected by a recent landslide at the time indicated on the graph. Which of the following best predicts how the population will be affected by the landslide?

• The surviving organisms will evolve into a new species.

• The reduced population will likely have allele frequencies that are different from the initial population.

• The population will adapt to deeper waters to avoid future landslides.

• The reduced population will have a greater number of different genes than the initial population.

The table shows the changes in allele frequencies of a specific gene in two populations of randomly mating small mammals after 30 years. The populations inhabit adjacent equatorial islands that have similar topography and climate. Which of the following is the most reliable conclusion that can be drawn from analysis of the data above?

• Genetic drift has occurred in population 1.

• Population 2 is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

• Selection for allele "r" is occurring in both populations.

• The reduced frequency of allele "R" in population 1 will eventually lead to the extinction of population 1.

Experimental evidence shows that the process of glycolysis is present and virtually identical in organisms from all three domains, Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Which of the following hypotheses could be best supported by this evidence?

• The presence of glycolysis as an energy-releasing process in all organisms suggests that convergent evolution occurred.

• Across the three domains, all organisms depend solely on the process of anaerobic respiration for ATP production.

• Glycolysis is a universal energy-releasing process and therefore suggests a common ancestor for all forms of life.

• All organisms carry out glycolysis in mitochondria.

A small number of lizards from a mainland population have been deposited on four isolated islands because of the effects of a rare strong storm. Which of the following best predicts the outcome of these lizards reproducing for many generations on the islands?

• The isolation prevents gene flow; thus, the lizards on different islands experience prezygotic isolation.

• The different species that currently exist are the result of hybridization between lizards from different islands.

• Speciation results from bottleneck events that happened before the ancestral species reached the islands.

• Courtship rituals specific to each island lizard species prevent the lizards from interbreeding.
