  1. 1) What would happen to the population size if the average female produced more than one surviving reproducing daughter? • A) there would be more females than males • B) the population would decrease • C) the population would increase, causing increased competition for food and other resources • D) the population would stay the same size without increased competition

  2. 2) Which of the following are necessary for evolution by natural selection? • A) genetic variation underlying phenotypic variation • B) random variation in survival and reproduction • C) forethought and intention • D) answers A and B above

  3. 3) “new” traits arise • A) when they are needed to increase survival • B) by incremental modifications of existing traits • C) because they might become useful at some time in the future, even though they are not advantageous now

  4. 4) Selection differs from evolution in the following ways • A) selection occurs among individuals within generations • B) selection reflects individual fitness • C) evolution occurs in populations, not individuals • D) evolution is change in genotype/allele frequency • E) all of the above are correct

  5. 5) Is natural selection a random process? • A) yes, because it is not guided by a “designer” • B) no, it is non-random survival and reproduction • C) yes, because mutations are random • D) both A and C above are correct
