33. 50 *the information from the gene on DNA that was inherited from parents is the genotype. It is transcribed onto mRNA, and eventually translated into a protein. The protein is the phenotype (expression of the genotype)

47. 10 Evolution 2 Dark colored moths outnumbered light colored moths in Manchester England during the Industrial Revolution. How would Lamarck explain this phenomenon?

48. 10 Evolution 2 According to his Theory of Evolution by Acquired Characteristics, Lamarck would suggest that the light colored moths turned dark colored, reproduced, and passed on this acquired trait to the next generation.

49. 10 Genetics 2

50. 20 Evolution 2 Dark colored moths outnumbered light colored moths in Manchester England during the Industrial Revolution. How would Darwin explain this phenomenon?

51. Darwin would have explained through his Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. Light moths were easily seen by predators and therefore more likely to be eaten. Dark moths were naturally selected to survive in that their dark traits allowed them to blend into their environment. The dark moths survived, reproduced, and overtime there were more dark colored moths in the population. 20 Evolution 2

53. 30 Evolution 2 *new allele combinations that arise from mutations.

54. 30 Genetics 2

55. 40 Evolution 2 Darwin observed selective breeding of dogs to help him better understand natural selection. What did he call this type of selective breeding?

57. 50 Evolution 2 Upon application of a pesticide in her garden, Sally initially found it to be an effective method to destroy the pests. Within a few months, the pesticide was completely ineffective and her garden was being destroyed by pests. (a)Why did the pesticide become ineffective? (b)What should she do?

58. 50 Evolution 2 (a)The pesticide destroyed 99% of the pests, but 1% had a mutation that enabled them immunity to the pesticide. The pesticide-resistant pests then reproduce, and overtime their population increased in the garden. (b)Sally will need to get a new pesticide
