There are many ongoing research projects that have been conducted that have traced the
individual pathways of nerves in the brain (where they start, where they end, and the path
taken). Considering the analogy of the nerves as highways, is this useful or not? Why?

Indicate each statement as No Evolution or Evolution Occurring (If Evolution is Occurring indicate by Selection or No Selection) with a brief explanation:

  1. 10 generations of selective breeding, and no change in the environment, produces dogs that bark less.
  2. Humans today are larger than our ancestors because we have access to better nutrition.
  3. Swimming ability is random with respect to genetics, and individuals that swim better survive the annual flood along the river. Over time, the population has more good swimmers.
  4. Individual plants have an allele for either red flowers or blue flowers. The deer grazing in your yard prefers to eat the red flowers and so the blue flowers survive and reproduce more.
  5. Digit length in Ay Ayes is heritable. After a strong bout of selection, you find that all Aye Ayes have the same length of digits
  6. A mutation conferring resistance to distemper occurs in racoons. Within 7 generations, you find that 50% of individuals in the population have the mutation
