Question

Which of the following is NOT an example of evolution occurring? ? Apple trees in an orchard produce larger apples than their ancestors. ? Over many generations, female beetles develop a genetically-influenced mate preference for a trait that indicates how healthy a male is. ? A population of moose lose weight during a year where there is a drought-caused famine. ? Disease microbes infecting a person become resistant to antibiotics.

Which group of organisms can be considered a population?A. all buffalos in North AmericaB. freshwater salmonC. a group of skunks living in same forestD. different kinds of butterflies living in the same patch of rain forest

1. The average proboscis length is increasing in a population of hummingbird hawkmoths. 2. A baby okapi grows up to be the tallest ever recorded at the zoo. 3. An all-black cat has a single white patch of fur, due to the spontaneous mutation of a pigment gene in the skin. 4. A population of apple maggot flies is changing its mimicry to more closely resemble a spider that has become common in its environment. 5. The Virginia opossum is resistant to the bites of venomous snakes, probably due to rapid mutation of the von Willebrand Factor clotting gene in populations exposed to the snakes. 6. Your aunt's dog Jake was injected with a rattlesnake venom vaccine, since they live in San Diego (and the dog is not very bright). 7. The population of Afrikaners in South Africa has an unusually high rate of Huntington's disease.

00:01 So the term evolution refers very simply to the change in species over time, not just one individual organism.
00:12 So if we look at these examples, we're looking for, are we talking about a species or just an individual to determine whether it's evolution or not? so in the first one, an athlete exercises increases their bicep muscles.
00:25 That is not evolutionary change because we're just talking about one person.
00:30 Just increasing their muscles.
00:32 That is not going to be a trait that is passed down from generation to generation.
00:37 Bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics, well, that bacteria is going to pass that trait to next generations.
00:47 So that would be considered evolutionary change.
00:50 So that would be a yes.
00:51 Introduction of new genes into corn plants.
00:54 Now this one i think we could argue yes and no.
00:59 This is genetic modification.
01:02 So genetic modification is where humans have altered the genetic code.
01:09 So i would argue that this is evolution in the sense that it is a change in species...
