Biology

Made from PowerPoint slides.

Sample Data

Front What selection did the Grants’ see in an El Niño year
Back Small birds with shallow beaks were selected for bc very wet year caused production of small, soft seeds*since this is opposite of what they saw following a drought, natural selection is DYNAMIC, not unidirectional
Front What natural experiments are ongoing relating to the transmission rate hypothesis
Back In Europe and US, safer sex is taking over —> should see virulence decreaseIn Africa, no change to sex practices —> should see virulence stay sameIn Asia, more promiscuity —> should see increase in virulence
Front Can environmental factors influence the rate of mutation
Back Yes (UV radiation, carcinogens, etc)
