As Darwin was developing his Theory of Natural Selection, how
did the breeding of animals, such as dogs and pigeons (Darwin
actually bred pigeons) help him create his theory?
1.) Describe what type of alleles natural selection works most
strongly on, and explain why.
2.) How does Dawson’s experiment demonstrate the concept
referred to in question 1?
3.) Differentiate between overdominance and underdominance and
give an example of when overdominance can occur.
4.) Explain how frequency-dependent selection works.
5.) Describe the potency of mutation as an evolutionary force,
and explain why.
6.) What happens when mutation is combined with selection and
how does cystic fibrosis exemplify this?

Relate the concept of natural selection to the
process of evolution. What conditions are
necessary for natural selection to result in the evolution of a
population?
Identify the requirements necessary for natural selection to occur.
This includes: a) variation
B) limits to population growth c) differential reproductive
success with respect to traits d) inheritance of traits e)
time
Answer parts a and b in regards to natural selection and
variation within and between populations. Be clear about which part
you are answering.
a. How does natural selection impact variation within a
population?
b. How does natural selection impact variation between populations;
be specific about this answer (Hint: there's more than one option
here).
You are tasked with a process selection project. There are two
processes (A and B) that could potentially work for your
application (cutting tubing to a specified length). Sample data is
provided by the two companies. Out of the 16 samples from process
A, you find an average of 17.92 inches and a standard deviation of
1.98 inches. Thirteen samples were taken from process B improvement
and had an average length of 16.58 inches and a standard deviation
of 1.30...
