ANTHROPOLOGY EXAM 2 SOLVED AND
GRADED A+
What is a Population? - ✔✔An interbreeding group of organisms.
What is a Deme? - ✔✔Local, interbreeding population that is defined in
terms of its genetic composition (for example, allele frequencies).
What is a Sub-Species? - ✔✔Group of local populations that share part of
the geographic range of a species and can be differentiated from other
subspecies based on one or more phenotypic traits.
What is a Polytypic Species? - ✔✔Species that consist of a number of
separate breeding populations each varying in some genetic trait.
What is a Species? - ✔✔An interbreeding group of animals or plants that
are reproductively isolated through anatomy, ecology, behavior, or
geographic distribution from all other such groups.
What is Race? - ✔✔In biological taxonomy, same thing as a subspecies;
when applied to humans, sometimes incorporates both cultural and
biological factors.
, What is Ethnicity? - ✔✔A human group defined in terms of sociological,
cultural, and linguistic traits.
What is an Antibody? - ✔✔Proteins (immunoglobulins) formed by the
immune system that are specifically structured to bind to and neutralize
invading antigens.
What is an Antigen? - ✔✔Whole or part of an invading organism that
prompts a response (such as production of antibodies) from the body's
immune system.
What is Racism? - ✔✔A prejudicial belief that members of one ethnic
group are superior in some way to those of another.
What is the heterozygous advantage in areas endemic for malaria? -
✔✔The heterozygous advantage in areas endemic for malaria is the high
frequency of the sickle cell trait. (carriers are protected).
Vasodilation and sweat- Acclimation or Adaptation? - ✔✔Adaptation
Vasoconstriction and shivering- Acclimation or Adaptation? -
✔✔Adaptation
Fish sold at pet stores kept in plastic bags before they are released into a
fish tank- Acclimation or Adaptation? - ✔✔Acclimation
