In a very small population of birds, assume 5 out of 20 alleles are the type that codes for blue feathers. What is the allele frequency of the “blue feather allele” in this population?

If the tallest and shortest individuals of a population of humans do not survive and reproduce as well as the individuals of “average” height, which type of selection would most likely result? 

In one butterfly species, the colors of individuals range from white to black, with many shades of gray in between. If the butterflies in a mountain population become more and more similar in color over several generations (e.g., if most butterflies are the same shade of gray), what kind of evolutionary force is likely acting on the population?

Which of the following is the correct way to write the scientific name of the wolf?  Option 1: Canis Lupus Option 2: canis lupus Option 3: canis Lupus Option 4: Canis lupus Option 5: Canis lupus

The amino acid sequences of human and bonobo (similar to chimps) hemoglobin are almost identical, yet they differ considerably from the sequence of the hemoglobin of wolves. This fact indicates that:

A mountain lion, or puma, has the scientific name Felis concolor. The term Felis is the: 

The fish in a certain population average 10 millimeters in length. Imagine that a population of predatory birds arrives in the area, but they cannot eat fish longer than 15 millimeters. After a decade, if the fish average 14 millimeters in length, what probably happened?

Hemophilia is an x-linked recessive gene that causes a blood disorder. What are the chances that the daughter of a normal man and a heterozygous woman will have hemophilia? 

Assume it is possible to remove continuous cores of rock from Earth that are 3,000 feet long and contain fossils. What would the theory of evolution by natural selection predict about the fossils found in such cores as they are examined from top to bottom?

 The X-linked varieties of congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) causes myopia (near sightedness), impaired night vision, reduced visual acuity, and other symptoms. A normal man (whose father has CSNB) marries a normal woman (whose father also has CSNB). If you were only looking at male offspring, what is the chance that a SON will have CSNB? (For the purposes of this question, if there are 2 of the same allele letter, place alleles with a linked trait second.) chance that a SON will have CSNB.
