EEB 3409 Exam 2 Questions With Complete Solutions
= kv Correct Answers the number of neutral mutations in a
haploid per generation; fixation rate per generation
2Nekv (1/2Ne) = kv Correct Answers null model provided by
neutral theory that allows the prediction of rate of variation if
loci are neutral
altruism can evolve when rb-c > 0 Correct Answers Hamilton's
rule
antagonistic pleiotropy Correct Answers ultimate evolutionary
cause of aging that states that on the mainland earlier
reproduction is correlated with faster senescence; traits that
result in earlier death, but are beneficial to young individuals
can be adaptive
asexual reproduction Correct Answers without fusion of
gametes
BETWEEN species Correct Answers dN/dS
byproducts
parasitism Correct Answers origins of mutualism (2)
byproducts Correct Answers costless byproducts -> (evolution)
-> providing mutual benefits
combat or intimidate
alternative mating strategies
, sperm competition
infanticide Correct Answers intrasexual competition (4)
continuous traits Correct Answers quantitative traits with
multiple loci such as running speed, blood pressure, crop yield
cooperative with relatives Correct Answers mechanism of kin
selection
copy number (transposons copying themselves)
segregation distorters (mutations that arise that lead to unequal
segregation) Correct Answers genomic conflict (2)
D = p(AB) - p(A)p(B) Correct Answers equation for LD
direct benefits
indirect benefits
sensory bias Correct Answers female choice sexual selection
(3)
discrete traits Correct Answers quantitative traits with a single
locus
drift Correct Answers what drives big genomes in small
populations?
duplication
selfish genetic elements
viral invasion Correct Answers what diverse processes increase
genome size? (3)
