BIO 182 Exam 1 – ASU | Evolution Models, Natural Selection, Experiments & Heritability|Verified Questions Provided with A+ Graded Rationales Latest Updated 2026 Lamarck's model of evolution is best described as a mathematical model. True Given Lamarck's model, biologist used deduction to infer how elephants used their trunks. True Lamarck's model conflicts with a worldview of theistic (God-guided) evolutions. True Lamarck's worldview could have been described as creationism False Lamarck's model likely lost its appeal to biologists because the evidence for Drawing's model 0of evolution outweighs the evidence of Lamarck's model True The process by which bacteria evolves antibiotic resistance could be viewed as natural selection True The evolution of antibiotic resistance required a population of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in which some individuals already possessed resistance to penicillin True Today, Neisseria Gonorrhoeae likely survives when exposed to any type of antibiotic False Resistance to penicillin by some individuals must have initially resulted from random mutations. True If none of the bacteria could survive exposure to penicillin, Neisseria gonorroeae likely increased its changes of evolving resistance by decreasing its mutation rate False Replication of observations was achieved by using multiple girls and boys in each group True The treatment in this experiment was the caloric intake and exercise regime of children True The sample size of the control group was 14 children False Any child who dieted has a lower cholesterol level than all the 50 children of average weight False The experiment would have been improved if the researchers had included a control group of overweight children who neither dieted nor exercised during three weeks True If a tall person mated with a short person, their offspring would likely be intermediate height True Alleles that cause shorter height are likely to be dominant False . In this population, the heritability of heigh is 10% True People who are heterozygous at each of the 180 loci will be approximately average in height True If taller people in this population produced more offspring, the mean heigh would increase from one generation to the next True The mutant allele first occurred in the population of Scandinavian horses by chance True The walk of modern English horses was likely the product of artificial selection True If the wild type allele were dominate, the first cross between a Scandinavian horse and an English horse would yield mostly horses that were comfortable to ride False The mutant allele likely resulted from a deletion in nucleotide that resulted in a frame shift while copying DNA
