19.3 Scenario Questions Please use the following information to answer the questions below. About 13 different species of finches inhabit the Galápagos Islands today, all descendants of a common ancestor from the South American mainland that arrived a few million years ago. Genetically, there are four distinct lineages, but the 13 species are currently classified among three genera. The first lineage to diverge from the ancestral lineage was the warbler finch (genus Certhidea). Next to diverge was the vegetarian finch (genus Camarhynchus), followed by five tree finch species (also in genus Camarhynchus) and six ground finch species (genus Geospiza). 1) If the six ground finch species have evolved most recently, then which of these is the most logical prediction? A) They should be limited to the six islands that most recently emerged from the sea. B) Their genomes should be more similar to each other than are the genomes of the five tree finch species. C) They should share fewer anatomical homologies with each other than they share with the tree finches. D) The chances of hybridization between two ground finch species should be less than the chances of hybridization between two tree finch species. Answer: B Topic: 19.3 Evolution is supported by an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence Bloom's Taxonomy: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing Learning Outcome: 19.3, V&C 1, G2 2) According to a 1999 study, the vegetarian finch is genetically no more similar to the tree finch than it is to the ground finch, despite the fact that it is placed in the same genus as the tree finch. Based on this finding, it is reasonable to conclude that the vegetarian finch A) is no more closely related to the tree finch than it is to the ground finch, despite its classification. B) should be reclassified as a warbler finch. C) is not truly a descendent of the original ancestral finch. D) is a hybrid species, resulting from a cross between a ground finch and a tree finch.

20.3 Scenario Questions Please use the following information to answer the questions below. Traditionally, zoologists have placed birds in their own class, Aves. More recently, molecular evidence has shown that birds are more closely related to reptiles than their anatomy reveals. Genetically, birds are more closely related to crocodiles than crocodiles are to turtles. Thus, bird anatomy has become highly modified as they have adapted to flight, without their genes having undergone nearly as much change. 1) Taxonomically, what should be done with the birds? A) The traditional stance is correct. Such dramatic morphological change as undergone by birds indicates that birds should be placed in their own order, separate from the reptiles. B) Birds should be reclassified, and their new taxon should be the subclass Aves. Genetic similarity trumps morphological dissimilarity in cases where morphological traits are uninformative. C) The rest of the reptiles should be reclassified as a subclass within the class Aves. D) The classification scheme should remain the same because of historical precedence.

Please use the following information to answer the questions below. Traditionally, whales and hippopotamuses have been classified in different orders, the Cetacea and the Artiodactyla, respectively. Recent molecular evidence, however, indicates that the whales' closest living relatives are the hippos. This has caused some zoologists to lump the two orders together into a single clade, the Cetartiodactyla. There is no consensus on whether the Cetartiodactyla should be accorded order status or superorder status. This is because it remains unclear whether the whale lineage diverged from the lineage leading to the hippos before or after the other members of the order Artiodactyla (pigs, camels, etc.) diverged (see Figure 20.5).

The bacterial genomes are not vulnerable to these restriction enzymes because bacterial DNA is methylated. This situation selects for bacteriophages whose genomes are also methylated. As new strains of resistant bacteriophages become more prevalent, this in turn selects for bacteria whose genomes are not methylated and whose restriction enzymes instead degrade methylated DNA. The outcome of the conflict between bacteria and bacteriophage at any point in time results from A) frequency-dependent selection. B) evolutionary imbalance. C) heterozygote advantage. D) neutral variation.

28) In the ocean, on either side of the Isthmus of Panama, are 30 species of snapping shrimp; some are shallow-water species, and others are adapted to deep water. There are 15 species on the Pacific side and 15 different species on the Atlantic side. The Isthmus of Panama started rising about 10 million years ago. The oceans were completely separated by the isthmus about 3 million years ago. Why should deepwater shrimp on different sides of the isthmus have diverged from each other earlier than shallow-water shrimp? A) They have been geographically isolated from each other for a longer time. B) Cold temperatures, associated with deep water, have accelerated the mutation rate, resulting in faster divergence in deepwater shrimp. C) The rise of the land bridge was accompanied by much volcanic activity. Volcanic ash contains heavy metals, which are known mutagens. Ash fall caused high levels of heavy metals in the ocean sediments underlying the deep water, resulting in accelerated mutation rates and faster divergence in deepwater shrimp. D) Fresh water entering the ocean from the canal is both less dense and cloudier than seawater. The cloudy fresh water interferes with the ability of shallow-water shrimp to locate mating partners, which reduces the frequency of mating, thereby slowing the introduction of genetic variation.

A) The lava flow area will cause a geographic barrier that promotes speciation among the majority of species populating the area. B) The effect of the lava flow on allopatric speciation will depend on the identity and traits of the various species present, including their abundance and respective mobility within the valley. C) The effects of the lava flow on speciation will depend on to what extent the various individuals present at the time can adapt to the new lava in the environment. D) The lava flow will not cause much allopatric speciation to populations in the area because species that are present will be able to move across and around the lava flow.

22.3 Scenario Questions Please use the following information to answer the questions below. On the volcanic, equatorial West African island of Sao Tomé, two species of fruit fly exist. Drosophila yakuba inhabits the island's lowlands and is also found on the African mainland, located about 200 miles away.

23.3 Scenario Questions The following questions refer to this hypothetical situation. A female fly, full of fertilized eggs, is swept by high winds to an island far out to sea. She is the first fly to arrive on this island and the only fly to arrive in this way. Thousands of years later, her numerous offspring occupy the island, but none of them resembles her. There are, instead, several species, each of which eats only a certain type of food. None of the species can fly, for their flight wings are absent, and their balancing organs (in other words, halteres) are now used in courtship displays. The male members of each species bear modified halteres that are unique in appearance to their species. Females bear vestigial halteres. The ranges of all of the daughter species overlap. 1) If these fly species lost the ability to fly independently of each other as a result of separate mutation events in each lineage, then the flightless condition in these species could be an example of A) adaptive radiation. B) species selection. C) sexual selection. D) allometric growth. Answer: B Topic: 23.4 Evolution is not goal oriented Bloom's Taxonomy: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing Learning Outcome: 23.4, V&C 1, G2 2) Which of these fly organs, as they exist in current fly populations, best fits the description of an exaptation? A) wings B) balancing organs C) mouthparts D) thoraxes E) walking appendages Answer: B Topic: 23.4 Evolution is not goal oriented Bloom's Taxonomy: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing Learning Outcome: 23.4, V&C 1, G2 Please use the following information to answer the questions below. All animals with eyes or eyespots that have been studied so far share a gene in common. When mutated, the gene Pax-6 causes lack of eyes in fruit flies, tiny eyes in mice, and missing irises (and other eye parts) in humans. The sequence of Pax-6 in humans and mice is identical. There are so few sequence differences with fruit fly Pax-6 that the human/mouse version can cause eye formation in eyeless fruit flies, even though vertebrates and invertebrates last shared a common ancestor more than 500 million years ago.

3) Fruit fly eyes are of the compound type, which is structurally very different from the cameratype eyes of mammals. Even the camera-type eyes of molluscs, such as octopi, are structurally quite different from those of mammals. Yet fruit flies, octopi, and mammals possess very similar versions of Pax-6. The fact that the same gene helps produce very different types of eyes is most likely due to A) the few differences in nucleotide sequence among the Pax-6 genes of these organisms. B) variations in the number of Pax-6 genes among these organisms. C) the independent evolution of this gene at many different times during animal evolution. D) differences in the control of Pax-6 expression among these organisms. Answer: D Topic: 23.3 Major changes in body form can result from changes in the sequences and regulation of developmental genes Bloom's Taxonomy: 5-6: Evaluating/Creating Learning Outcome: 23.3, V&C 1, G2 4) Pax-6 usually causes the production of a type of light-receptor pigment. In vertebrate eyes, though, a different gene (the rh gene family) is responsible for the light-receptor pigments of the retina. The rh gene, like Pax-6, is ancient. In the marine ragworm, for example, the rh gene causes production of c-opsin, which helps regulate the worm's biological clock. Which of these most likely accounts for vertebrate vision? A) The Pax-6 gene mutated to become the rh gene among early mammals. B) During vertebrate evolution, the rh gene for biological clock opsin was co-opted as a gene for visual receptor pigments. C) In animals more ancient than ragworms, the rh gene(s) coded for visual receptor pigments; in lineages more recent than ragworms, rh has flip-flopped several times between producing biological clock opsins and visual receptor pigments. D) Pax-6 was lost from the mammalian genome and replaced by the rh gene much later. Answer: B Topic: 23.3 Major changes in body form can result from changes in the sequences and regulation of developmental genes Bloom's Taxonomy: 5-6: Evaluating/Creating Learning Outcome: 23.3, V&C 1, G2 5) The appearance of Pax-6 in all animals with eyes can be explained in multiple ways. Based on the information given, which explanation is most likely? A) Pax-6 in all of these animals is not homologous; it arose independently in many different animal phyla due to intense selective pressure favoring vision. B) The Pax-6 gene is really not one gene. It is many different genes that, over evolutionary time and due to convergence, have come to have a similar nucleotide sequence and function. C) The Pax-6 gene was an innovation of an ancestral animal of the early Cambrian period. Animals with eyes or eyespots are descendants of this ancestor. D) The perfectly designed Pax-6 gene appeared instantaneously in all animals created to have eyes or eyespots.

Answer: C Topic: 25.4 Single-celled eukaryotes play key roles in ecological communities and affect human health Bloom's Taxonomy: 5-6: Evaluating/Creating Learning Outcome: 25.4, G1, G2, G5 4) When diatoms die, their shells fall to the floor of the ocean or lake that they inhabit and form sediments called diatomaceous earth (DE). Diatoms can be identified by their shells, and different species of diatoms prefer different water temperatures. The diatoms' porous shells are hard but often break and result in sharp edges. Crop farmers incorporate DE into their soil to help kill insect pests. When insects encounter DE, sharp shell edges cut through their exoskeletons and then softer, broken down DE absorbs insect body fluids, thereby causing the insects to die due to dehydration. Why might farmers who raise large livestock also use DE in the animals' feed? A) The sharp shells can damage the tissue of intestinal parasites and eventually kill them. B) DE helps to slow down the livestock's digestion of food, thereby increasing nutrient absorption. C) The porous nature of the shells in the DE helps keep livestock hydrated. D) DE encourages growth of "healthy" intestinal bacteria.

Answer: D Topic: 25.4 Single-celled eukaryotes play key roles in ecological communities and affect human health Bloom's Taxonomy: 3-4: Applying/Analyzing Learning Outcome: 25.4, G2 Please use the following information to answer the questions below. Giardia intestinalis is an intestinal parasite of humans and other mammals that causes intestinal ailments in most people. It can infect people when they drink water contaminated with feces containing Giardia cysts. Upon ingestion, each cyst releases two motile cells, called trophozoites. These attach to the small intestine's lining via a ventral adhesive disk. The trophozoites anaerobically metabolize glucose from the host's intestinal contents to produce ATP. Reproduction is completely asexual, occurring by longitudinal binary fission of trophozoites, with each daughter cell receiving two haploid nuclei (n = 5). A trophozoite will often encyst as it passes into the large intestine by secreting around itself a case that is resistant to cold, heat, and dehydration. 9) Giardia's mitosome can be said to be "doubly degenerate," because it is a degenerate form of ________, an organelle that is itself a degenerate form of ________. A) nucleus; archaean B) nucleus; bacterium C) mitochondrion; proteobacterium D) mitochondrion; spirochete E) chloroplast; cyanobacterium Answer: C Topic: 25.1, 25.3 Eukaryotes arose by endosymbiosis more than 1.8 billion years ago; Four "supergroups" of eukaryotes have been proposed based on morphological and molecular data Bloom's Taxonomy: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding Learning Outcome: 25.1, 25.3, V&C 2

Please use the following information to answer the questions below. Healthy individuals of Paramecium bursaria contain photosynthetic algal endosymbionts of the genus Chlorella. When within their hosts, the algae are referred to as zoochlorellae. In aquaria with light coming from only one side, P. bursaria gathers at the well-lit side, whereas other species of Paramecium gather at the opposite side. The zoochlorellae provide their hosts with glucose and oxygen, and P. bursaria provides its zoochlorellae with protection and motility. P. bursaria can lose its zoochlorellae in two ways: (1) if kept in darkness, the algae will die; and (2) if prey items (mostly bacteria) are absent from its habitat, P. bursaria will digest its zoochlorellae. 24) Which term best describes the symbiotic relationship of well-fed P. bursaria with their zoochlorellae?

Please use the following information to answer the questions below. For several decades now, amphibian species worldwide have been in decline. A significant proportion of the decline seems to be due to the spread of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Chytrid sporangia reside within the epidermal cells of infected animals, animals that consequently show areas of sloughed skin. Infected animals can also be lethargic, which is expressed through failure to hide and failure to flee. The infection cycle typically takes four to five days, at the end of which zoospores are released from sporangia into the environment. Zoospores are spores of fungi (as well as some algae and protozoans) that use a flagella for swimming locomotion. In some amphibian species, mortality rates approach 100%; other species seem able to survive the infection. 7) The chytrid sporangia reside within the amphibian epidermal cells. Consequently, which term(s) apply to Bd?

Please use the following information to answer the questions below. Big Bend National Park in Texas is mostly Chihuahuan desert where rainfall averages about 10 inches per year. Yet when hiking in this bone-dry desert, it is not uncommon to encounter mosses and ferns. One such plant is called "flower of stone." It is not a flowering plant, nor does it produce seeds. Under arid conditions, its leaflike structures curl up. However, when it rains, it unfurls its leaves, which form a bright green rosette on the desert floor. Consequently, it is sometimes called the "resurrection plant." 15) Upon closer inspection of the leaves of flower of stone, one can observe tiny, cone-like structures. Each cone-like structure emits spores of two different sizes. Further investigation also reveals that the roots of flower of stone branch only at the growing tip of the root, forming a Yshaped structure.

Please use the following information to answer the questions below. The cycads, a mostly tropical phylum of gymnosperms, evolved about 300 million years ago and were dominant forms during the age of the dinosaurs. Though their sperm are flagellated, their ovules are pollinated by beetles. These beetles get nutrition (they eat pollen) and shelter from microsporophylls (leaflike structures that contain microsporangia). Upon visiting megasporophylls (leaflike structures where megaspores are formed), the beetles transfer pollen to the exposed ovules. In cycads, pollen cones and seed cones are borne on different plants. Cycads synthesize neurotoxins, especially in the seeds, that are effective against most animals, including humans. 17) Which feature of cycads distinguishes them from most other gymnosperms? 1.

Please use the following information to answer the questions below. The Brazil nut tree, Bertholletia excels (n = 17), is native to tropical rain forests of South America. It is a hardwood tree that can grow to over 50 meters tall, is a source of high-quality lumber, and is a favorite nesting site for harpy eagles. As the rainy season ends, tough-walled fruits, each containing 8—25 seeds (Brazil nuts), fall to the forest floor. Brazil nuts are composed primarily of endosperm. About $50 million worth of nuts are harvested each year. Scientists have discovered that the pale yellow flowers of Brazil nut trees cannot fertilize themselves and admit only female orchid bees as pollinators. The agouti (Dasyprocta spp.), a cat-sized rodent, is the only animal with teeth strong enough to crack the hard wall of Brazil nut fruits. It typically eats some of the seeds, buries others, and leaves still others inside the fruit, which moisture can then enter. The uneaten seeds may subsequently germinate. 25) The agouti is most directly involved with the Brazil nut tree's dispersal of A) male gametophytes. B) female gametophytes. C) sporophyte embryos.

27.3 Scenario Questions Please use the following information to answer the questions below. Placozoan evolutionary relationships to other animals are currently unclear, and different phylogenies can be created, depending on the characters used to infer relatedness. Placozoans are multicellular invertebrates with a simple structure of only two tissue layers and only four cell types. They have the smallest amount of DNA measured in any animal. In comparison, sponges have no tissues but about 20 cell types. One species of placozoans, Tp (Trichoplax adhaerens), produces a neuropeptide almost identical to one found in cnidarians. The genome of Tp, although the smallest of any known animal, shares many features of complex eumetazoan (even human!) genomes. The next three questions refer to the phylogenetic trees that follow. In the trees, the outgroup is a taxon that is outside the group of interest; members of the group of interest are more closely related to one another than to the outgroup.

Please use the following information to answer the questions below.

Figure 27.2 Fishes that have swim bladders can regulate their density and thus their buoyancy. There are two types of swim bladder: physostomous and physoclistous. The ancestral version is the physostomous version, in which the swim bladder is connected to the esophagus via a short tube (Figure 27.2). The fish fills this version by swimming to the surface, taking gulps of air, and directing them into the swim bladder. Air is removed from this version by "belching." The physoclistous version is more derived and has lost its connection to the esophagus. Instead, gas enters and leaves the swim bladder via special circulatory mechanisms within the wall of the swim bladder. 4) The presence of a swim bladder allows the typical ray-finned fish to stop swimming and still A) effectively circulate its blood. B) be highly maneuverable. C) use its swim bladder as a respiratory organ. D) not sink.

Please use the following information to answer the question(s) below. Trichoplax adhaerens (Tp) is the only living species in the phylum Placozoa. Individuals are about 1 mm wide and only 27 μm high, are irregularly shaped, and consist of a total of about 2,000 cells, which are diploid (2n = 12). There are four types of cells, none of which is a nerve or muscle cell, and none of which has a cell wall. They move using cilia, and any "edge" can lead. Tp feeds on marine microbes, mostly unicellular green algae, by crawling atop the algae and trapping it between its ventral surface and the substrate. Enzymes are then secreted onto the algae, and the resulting nutrients are absorbed. Tp sperm cells have never been observed, nor have embryos past the 64-cell (blastula) stage. 8) In which of the following ways is Tp similar to a typical animal? 1. Tp is multicellular. 2. Tp lacks muscle and nerve cells. 3. Tp has cilia. 4. Tp lacks cell walls. 5. Tp does not have observable sperm cells.

Please use the following information to answer the questions below. The most recently discovered phylum in the animal kingdom (1995) is the phylum Cycliophora. It includes three species of tiny organisms that live in large numbers on the outsides of the mouthparts and appendages of lobsters. When in the feeding stage, a cycliophoran permanently attaches to the lobster via an adhesive disk and collects scraps of food from its host's feeding by capturing the scraps in a current created by a ring of cilia. Its body is sac-like and has a U-shaped intestine that brings the anus close to the mouth. Cycliophorans are eucoelomate (have a body cavity that is a coelom) and do not molt (though their host does). 13) Which of these features is least useful in assigning the phylum Cycliophora to a clade of animals?

36.3 Scenario Questions Use the information below to answer the following questions. Normally the Y chromosome contains the SRY gene, and the X chromosomes lacks the SRY gene. The SRY gene directs the development of adult male characteristics such as a penis and testes, deeper voice, facial hair, and larger muscles. However, during meiosis, chromosomes exchange genetic material with one another through a process called homologous recombination. One outcome of homologous recombination is for an X chromosome to gain the SRY gene (referred to as X(SRY+)). Conversely, through the same process, it is possible for the Y chromosome to lose the SRY gene (referred to as Y(SRY-)). 1) What biological (chromosomal) gender and adult human characteristics would a zygote having an XX genotype have, assuming the recombination event described did not take place?

Please use the following information to answer the questions below. A scientist hypothesizes that biological magnification of heavy metals in fragment-dwelling, insect-eating birds should be greater in forest fragments with relatively more edge habitat. This is because edge-dwelling bird species may forage for insects in areas contaminated by heavy metals outside of the forest.

Which of the following designs would be most informative? A) Locate a single forest fragment with equal amounts of edge and interior habitat, then sample the blood of insect-eating birds at regular distances across the widest point of the fragment. B) Locate several forest fragments of similar sizes but different shapes, then sample the blood of insect-eating birds at regular distances along a 100-m path in each fragment.
