The term "n" refers to the size of a population, that is, the number of individuals in that population. In general, in a sample of n individuals, the frequency of an allele is: - Answer-the number of occurrences of the allele divided by twice the number of individuals in the sample (2n) If a population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, we can conclude that: - Answer-evolution has occurred because one of the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium has been violated The goldenrod ...

Bio 1M03 Exam study Guide Latest Cell theory - all organisms are made of cells and all cells come from pre-existing cells Louis Pasteur - designed an experiment to test if cells arose spontaneously or if they were the result of pre-existing cells Evolution - postulates that (a) species are related to one another by common ancestry and (b) species can change through time from generation to generation. Natural selection - process that explains how evolution occurs Fitness - the ab...

"Biologists practice evidence-based decision making." This statement means that: Biologists start by stating a hypothesis and a null hypothesis, without making prior observations because that might lead to bias. Biologists select between a hypothesis and a null hypothesis based on careful thought without data Biologists select between a hypothesis and a null hypothesis based on experiemental or observational data Only careful experimentation allows biologists to select between a hypothes...

List the 7 most widely accepted characteristics of living organisms - correct answer Order, evolutionary adaptation, regulation, energy processing, growth and development, response to the environment, and reproduction Describe evolutionary adaptation and give an example - correct answer refers to smaller, genetic changes that allow for better survival of an organism. An example would be camouflage because if an animal can camouflage with their environment they will ideally live longer and be ...
