Question 1 10 points) Mark each statement below as true or false. If the statement is false, change one bolded word/phrase to make it true Evolution requires heritable variation that affects reproductive success. A deleterious allele can fix* in a population, especially if that population is small if there is only one allele for a gene, thata lele has "fixed", Selection can cause a trait to remain unchanged over many generations. An advantage of experiments (rather than "mere" observations) is that experiments measure factors that may affect the outcome variable. When a population is poorly-adapted to an environment, the individual with the highest mutation rate will likely adapt fastest.

Explanation / Answer

1. TRUE

Evolution requires heritable variation which can affect the reproductive success and fitness of an organism

2. FALSE

A deleterious allele is generally eliminated from the population.

3. FALSE

Selection fixes the beneficial alleles.

4. TRUE

An experiment tests the nature and viability of an observation.

5. TRUE

High mutation rate may provide chances of developing adaptive alleles.

But, this is not applicable all the time.
