BIO 240 Week 2 DQ 1 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES
VISIT www.bio240edu.com   There is a fierce
competition among individuals within any species,
humans included, to gain access to reproductive
privileges. The fittest a term that signifies
the largest, prettiest, and most sexually
attractive members, succeed in predominantly
mating and having offspring, while the less
attractive ones often do not. What is the role of
such sexual selection from an evolutionary
standpoint?

VISIT www.bio240edu.com Craig Venter made a new
life form (a bacterium) from scratch
essentially from computer database, and a few
bottles of chemicals http//www.csmonitor.com/Sci

10/05/21/science/21cell.html If these and other
such DNA-based technologies become widely used,
how might they change the way evolution proceeds,
as compared with the natural evolutionary
mechanisms of the past almost 4 billion years?

discrimination based on testing for harmful
genes? Would you support cloning of life forms?
How about a human clone? What policies can you
suggest that would prevent or permit such
practices?

VISIT www.bio240edu.com   Consider the human eye,
an exquisitely adapted organ that gives rise to
stereo vision in full color (see, for instance,
The Evolution of Primate Color Vision by Gerald
H. Jacobs and Jeremy Nathans, Scientific
American, April 2009 issue, pp. 56-63). Explain,
strictly from within the framework of Darwinian
evolution, how natural selection crafted such
an organ.

BIO 240 Week 4 DQ 2 (UOP) FOR MORE CLASSES
VISIT www.bio240edu.com   How do you think we
could trace back the evolution of organs within
our body by hundreds of millions of years from
our reptile ancestors by examining coevolution
patterns and fitness landscapes?   Discuss, for
instance, the missing link, Tiktaalik, that has
made headlines around the world (see Your Inner
Fish by Neil Shubin).   What kind of selection
pressures could have been at work here, based on
species adaptations, climate changes, and
shifting landmasses?
