Adaptation Answer a trait or integrated suite of traits that increases the fitness of its possessor • Differences among populations or species are not always adaptive • Not every trait of an organism use of every trait by an organism is an adaptation • Not every adaptation is perfect Example of testing various hypotheses of adaptions Answer -looked at tick load, mean number of wounds, and changes in earwax on cattle with and without birds, adaptationist programme Answer An...

Successful artificial selection, such as that practiced by plant and animal breeders to modify their crops and livestock, depends on which of the following? Answer All of these are necessary for artificial selection to take place. Darwin's postulates must be true for selection to occur, whether it is artificial selection or natural selection. Thus, for artificial selection to occur, the population must have variation in the desired trait, the variation must be heritable, and breeders must b...

Describe in your own words the difference between an experimental study, an observational study, and a comparative study. What sorts of questions are they each suited for (i.e., why don't researchers always use the experimental method)? Give an example of each type of study from this chapter. Answer An experimental study is one in which the researchers directly manipulate a variable of interest, typically changing it in one group of individuals and leaving it unchanged in a control group. The e...
