Kin Selection vs. Multilevel Selection In The Social Conquest of Earth by Edward Wilson‚ he argues that kin selection is not a valid theory and proposes a better theory called multilevel selection. This has been seen as a controversial proposal because for generations previous to multilevel selection‚ kin selection was the standard explanation of evolution. Through the use of various examples‚ Wilson makes a convincing pro-multilevel-selection argument. Kin Selection‚ also known as inclusive fitness

Option 5 Describe the difference between Darwin’s theories of (a) natural selection and (b) sexual selection. - Natural Selection The theory that members of a species each have slight variations from each other‚ and that these variations have the ability to enable some members of a species a survival advantage in certain environments. As a result of having a variation that increases their likelihood to survive‚ they are allowed to propagate‚ and their offspring have an increased likelihood of

Both directional and disruptive selection show the distribution of phenotypes. Distribution selection takes place when an extreme phenotype is favored‚ and the distribution curve shifts in that direction. Antibiotic resistant bacteria are an example of directional selection. When an antibiotic is used‚ some bacteria may survive causing it to produce bacteria that is resistant to that antibiotic. Disruptive selection occurs when two or more extreme phenotypes are favored over an intermediate phenotype

three types of polygenic trait selection illustrated below 2. What type of individuals in the population are represented by the 2 ends of the bell curve? 3. Starlings produce an average of five eggs in each clutch. If there are more than five‚ the parents cannot adequately feed the young. If there are fewer than five‚ predators may destroy the entire clutch. This is an example of a. disruptive selection. b. stabilizing selection. c. directional selection. d. none of the above. 4

to evolution by way of Natural Selection‚ Artificial Selection‚ and Sexual Selection. The process of evolution is seen in species that undergo changes over long periods of time by adapting characteristics which will better suit them to their environments. By utilizing a combination of both hypothetical imagery and scientific observation‚ Darwin has developed a persuasive argument intended to shed light on the origins of life. Natural Selection Natural selection is understood as the evolutionary

AIM To prove that both allele and genotype frequencies in a population would not remain constant if natural selection occurs. Natural selection is the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

called ’Human Evolution: New Playgrounds for Natural Selection’. This article was published on May 20th 2013‚ by Emmanuel Milot and Fanie Pelletier. This article was published in the ’current biology’ journal volume 23‚ issue 10. I chose this article because it deals with natural selection‚ which was talked a lot about in Chapter one in our learning and behavior book. Over time a lot of change took place‚ and a lot of it was due to natural selection and how our bodies and traits changed over time to
