studies focused on natural selection by predation being a strong contributing factor of polymorphic color distribution in a population. While there is some truth in this model‚ it may overlook the importance that sexual selection plays‚ as will be depicted in the following examples. Many examples demonstrate that animals in a particular species tend to mate with individuals that share similar color patterns‚ in fact it is rare to see individuals with dissimilar color patterns mate.

called ’Human Evolution: New Playgrounds for Natural Selection’. This article was published on May 20th 2013‚ by Emmanuel Milot and Fanie Pelletier. This article was published in the ’current biology’ journal volume 23‚ issue 10. I chose this article because it deals with natural selection‚ which was talked a lot about in Chapter one in our learning and behavior book. Over time a lot of change took place‚ and a lot of it was due to natural selection and how our bodies and traits changed over time to

Altruism/kin selection “Dream as if you’ll live forever‚ live as if you’ll die today (James Dean)!” By this being said ants and bees are there to protect and provide for the queen at any means necessary. This is where altruism and kin selection play a huge role in the lives of bee’s and ants. Kin selection and Altruism is equal with social insects to dominate many terrestrial habitats that they can hardly describe it as colony of organisms because the individuals appear to operate as a unit

CHAPTER 7‚ SECTION 7.2 PAGES 305 – 310 Natural selection: A process in which results in the characteristics of a population of organisms change over many generations. It occurs because individuals with certain inherited traits survive specific local environmental conditions and through reproduction‚ pass on their alleles to their offspring. Selective Pressure: environmental conditions that select for certain characteristics of an individual and select against other characteristics It may

three types of polygenic trait selection illustrated below 2. What type of individuals in the population are represented by the 2 ends of the bell curve? 3. Starlings produce an average of five eggs in each clutch. If there are more than five‚ the parents cannot adequately feed the young. If there are fewer than five‚ predators may destroy the entire clutch. This is an example of a. disruptive selection. b. stabilizing selection. c. directional selection. d. none of the above. 4

It was a video game that gave the player (in this case God himself) many different ways on how to change the environment‚ along with other factors too. There were a type of species from the game’s selection of other species called Barbellus- which had an antennae and a fish tail. God decided to create a large number of these creatures that lived in the ocean of the video game. However‚ in this species’ early stages‚ both populations were simply known

AIM To prove that both allele and genotype frequencies in a population would not remain constant if natural selection occurs. Natural selection is the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

M October 8‚ 2012 Sexual Selection For any evolution to gain some legacy‚ surviving is not enough without reproduction. In the world‚ over 90% of all the species have sexual reproduction. In this case‚ two individuals of a certain species from each sex have to mate so that they can produce offspring. Reproduction is seen as an expensive ordeal which has potential of exerting a considerable evolutionary pressure. This pressure was portrayed by Darwin as sexual selection operating through some members
