Evolution 2019 Practice Questions1.Five new species of bacteria were discovered in Antarctic ice core samples. The nucleotide (base)sequences of rRNA subunits were determined for the new species. The table below shows thenumber of nucleotide differences between the species.Which of the following phylogenetic trees is most consistent with the data?AAP BiologyNameCopyright © 2019.

2.In a hypothetical population of beetles, there is a wide variety of color, matching the range ofcoloration of the tree trunks on which the beetles hide from predators. The graphs below illustrate fourpossible changes to the beetle population as a result of a change in the environment due to pollutionthat darkened the tree trunks.Which of the following includes the most likely change in the coloration of the beetle population afterpollution and a correct rationale for the change?B
The data in the graph best support which of the following claims?(A) Environmental contamination elevates total testosterone oxido-reductase activity infemales.(B) Environmental contamination reduces total testosterone oxido-reductase activity infemales.(C) Environmental contamination elevates total testosterone oxido-reductase activity inmales.(D)Environmental contamination reduces total testosterone oxido-reductase activity inmales.

SHORT ESSAY12.(8 points) In eukaryotic cells, ribosomes are found both free in the cytosol and attached tothe endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Proteins produced on the attached ribosomes travelthrough the endomembrane system, with many ultimately secreted from the cell; proteinsproduced on free ribosomes are delivered to the cytosol (or stored in plant vacuoles).(A)Briefly explainthe following in 2-4 sentences each.(B) Describe the endomembrane system.(C) Why do proteins made at the rough ER get molecular zip code while those made atfree ribosomes do not?(D)What is the importance of receiving a molecular zip code?(E) Using the previous responses, what is the purpose of the endomembrane system?13.(3 points) Describe the endosymbiosis theory. Provide 2 examples of evidence that supportthe theory.
