4.Use complete comparisons Colobus monkeys and other members of Colobinae possess this special morphological / physiological adaptation . What is it ?

5.What will be the mechanical result of a non-synonymous mutation ? what were three of Darwin’s basic lines of evidence for his theory go natural selection ?

6.List 3 characteristics of the oder primates . What is another name for a harem group in primates ? What is the name of the type of cell division that produces somatic cells ?

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1]  Assumptions necessary for hardy Weinberg equilibrium are as follows:

1 ] No genetic drift -Sexual reproduction recombines genetic information in a random pattern.In a small population,it is possible that few individuals carry an allele and simple chance could make them more or less successful in passing on that allele.this is known as genetic drift ,and the Hardy-Weinberg assumes that it does not happen.

2]Mutations dont happen= Mutations are errors that happen when DNA is being copied.They can be nonsense or neutral,they can be harmful to the organism .H-W equilibrium assumes that mutations dont exist because they represent genetic change that is not due to the recombination of existing alleles.

3] Random mating patterns-The H-W principle assumes that every individual in a population has an equal chance of mating with every other individual ,totally random mating .

4] No natural selection- natural selection is a pressure that favors one allele over another because the resulting trail,or phenotype ,gives the individual an advantage.
