Directions:
For problems 1-5 analyze the scenario and identify if it is an example of: the bottleneck effect, the founder effect, or
gene flow.
1. In the nineteenth century, northern elephant seals were nearly wiped out by
hunters. Their population was reduced to only 30 members. Conservation efforts
have brought those numbers up, but due to the decrease in the population, the
current population of northern elephant seals exhibits little genetic variation.
2. A population of blue jays feed on acorns from oak trees. During the winter, blue
jays often have to travel miles to find acorns. When they do, they take the acorns
back to their nests. This transfer of acorns from one location to a new location
can transfer alleles to other oak tree populations.
3. A recent volcanic eruption has separated a group of beetles from their original
population. This new group of beetles is unable to reconnect with their original
population.
4. Hurricane Hugo passed through Puerto Rico in 1989. The hurricane
significantly impacted the Puerto Rican Parrot (Amazona vittata) population. A
study found that the hurricane wiped out more than half of the parrot’s population.
5. The building of roads can significantly impact and fragment wildlife
populations. A study done at Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada sought to
determine whether or not wildlife crossings can help reduce fragmentation in both
grizzly and black bear populations. The study found that wildlife crossings
allowed bears that were once fragmented from other populations to reconnect.
Directions:
For problems 6-10 analyze the scenario and identify if it is an example of: directional selection, stabilizing selection, or
disruptive selection
6. Light colored oysters are able to blend into rocks in the shallow water. Dark
colored oysters are able to blend into rocks that are covered by shadows. The
intermediate colored oysters are unable to blend into either backdrop and are
therefore easily spotted by predators.
7. Cacti have two types of predators: one that preys on cacti with low numbers of
spines, and one that preys on cacti with many spines. Therefore, the most
successful cacti are those with an average number of spines.
8. After a fire went through a portion of the California chaparral, only the darkest
colored beetles were able to survive because they could easily blend into their
surroundings. Both the light and intermediate beetle colors were easily seen by
predators.
9. After the Industrial Revolution in London, England, dark colored peppered
moths were able to survive best in industrial areas. In rural areas, however, lighter
colored moths were able to survive best. Intermediate colored moths were unable
to survive in either rural or industrial areas.
10. Human birth weight averages approximately 3.5 kg (7.5 lb). Babies with a
lower birth weight tend to have health issues, and babies with a higher birth
weight tend to have difficulty passing through the birthing canal.

Directions:
Read the following problem, examine the data given, graph the data, and answer the corresponding questions.
In 1977 the Galapagos Islands were affected by a major drought. At the time, researchers in the area had been studying
the beak depth of medium ground finches (Geospiza fortis). Ground finches have varying body sizes and beak depths
as a result of adaptations to their environments. The researchers had tagged the birds in order to keep track of them and
also keep track of any and all offspring that were produced. The scientists hoped to see natural selection at work as the
drought significantly affected the availability of food by reducing the amount of smal, softl seeds available, which left
primarily large, tough seeds that the finches rarely ate. Throughout the course of two years, the researchers recorded
beak depths. The data is below:
Data from 1976 population Data from 1978 population
Number of Finches Average Beak Depth (mm) Number of Finches Averrage Beath Depth (mm)

Analysis Questions:
Use the information given to you and the graph you constructed to answer the following questions.
1. Describe the effect that the drought had on the average beak depth of the finches.
2. Examine your graph. How did natural selection alter the phenotype (ie what mode of natural selection is seen)?
3. Create a model to explain the results the researchers gathered on the effect of the drought on mean beak depth.
4. How did the drought affect the gene pool of the ground finch population?
5. Predict what might happen if the drought ended and it was followed by years of rain, which lead to an increase in
small, soft seeds.

Hardy Weinberg and Chi Square
In the year 3000, engineers at MIT finally create the technology necessary for time travel. You, who somehow
are still alive (Time Lord perhaps?), decide that you want to make your AP biology teacher proud and use this
wonderful new time travel technology to do some statistical analysis. Thinking about where to go, you
remember once reading an article that said the Tyrannosaurus Rex likely had feathers! Since you have a taste
for danger, you become determined to conduct field work on the genetics of this now extinct animal-and of
course you also want to see their short little arms and possibly
feather covered bodies! You jump on a plane and head to
South Dakota, where the remains of one of the largest flesh-
eaters to have ever inhabited Earth, named Sue, were found
(named after Sue Hendrickson who discovered the fossils).
Once you reach South Dakota, you use your time travel
technology to turn back time...67 million years!
Once you turn back time, you begin your studies. To your surprise, not all Tyrannosaurus Rex have feathers! It
seems like having feathers is a dominant trait. You realize this discovery could change our understanding of
evolution*gasp*. You begin gathering DNA samples from a population of T-Rex. You determine that having
feathers (F) is dominant to not having feathers (f). You obtain the data in the chart below:
Time (days) Feathered (FF) Feathered (Ff) Non-Feathered (ff) Total
1 210 230 60 500
1. Use the observed genotypic frequencies to calculate the frequencies of the F and f alleles in the population of
T-Rex. (Hint: the frequency of an allele in a gene pool is the number of copies of that allele divided by the total
number of copies of alleles).
2. Next, use the Hardy Weinberg equation (p2 + 2pq + q
2 = 1) to calculate the EXPECTED genotypic
frequencies of the population (FF, Ff, ff), if it were in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.
11
Page 13
3. Next, calculate the actual OBSERVED frequencies of each genotype (FF, Ff, ff). (Hint: the observed
frequencies are the number of individuals with that genotype divided by the total number of individuals).
4. Compare the observed frequencies in step 3 to the expected frequencies calculated in step 2 for day 1. Is the
T-Rex population in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium? Is evolution occurring to the population?
5. One year later you return to South Dakota to take data again. This time, you observe 700 Tyrannosaurus Rex.
If this population of T-Rex is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, how many T-Rex would you expect to have
feathers? How many would you expect to have no feathers?
6. As you observe the animals and analyze DNA samples, you record the following data for day 365:
Time (days) Feathered (FF) Feathered (Ff) Non-Feathered (ff) Total
1 210 230 60 500
365 321 340 39 700
12
Page 14
7. Using the data for day 365, calculate the OBSERVED genotypic frequencies (FF, Ff, ff).
8. Compare these observed frequencies to the EXPECTED frequencies in step 2. Is the population of T-Rex in
Hardy Weinberg equilibrium at day 365? Is evolution occurring to the population?
9. To be confident in your conclusions about the T-Rex population at day 365, you conduct a Chi Square
analysis.
a. State the null hypothesis for the experiment.
b. Fill in the chart below with the data you have gathered.
Genotype FF Ff ff Total
Observed--O
Expected--E
O-E
(O-E)2
(O-E)2/E

c. Determine your degrees of freedom
d. Compare your chi square value to the critical value on the degrees of freedom chart.
e. What does this result mean for the population of Tyrannosaurus Rex?
10. If you were to come back to the site and analyze genetic data again in 5 years, what would you expect to see
in terms of the genotypic frequencies? (I.e. are some genotypes being selected for or selected against?)

Learning Objective 7.9: Describe the types of evidence that can be used to infer an evolutionary relationship.
Cladogram Information: A cladogram is an evolutionary tree based on cladistics. DNA analysis has allowed cladistics to confirm and reform past evolutionary trees. This exercise uses characteristics you are familiar with rather than DNA.
1. From the data in the chart below you will construct a cladogram in which branch points are derivedcharacteristics. You will determine if a shark is more closely related to lizards or bony fish. For eachcharacteristic, write “+” if the animal has the characteristic, and “-” if the animal does not have thecharacteristic. You may need to use the internet to find out which organisms have which traits.
2. Look at your cladogram. Organisms will go in the numbered boxes (1-6), and derived characteristicswill go in the shaded boxes (A-F).
3. The organism with the fewest characteristics (one in this case) will go in box #1 and the organisms withthe most characteristics will go in box #6.
4. Complete the cladogram and the analysis questions that follow.

Phylogeny
Name: ___________________________
Phylogenetic trees and cladograms are commonly used to depict the evolutionary history of species, populations,and
genes, and are widely used in the fields of biology, physiology, ecology, and molecular biology. So, what’s the
difference between phylogenetic trees and cladograms? Phylogenetic trees represent a more accurate evolutionary
history, based on a multitude of evidence, while cladograms are more of a hypothesis of evolutionary history based on
derived traits. Additionally, branch length in phylogenetic trees often represents the amount of change over time, while
branch length in cladograms is meaningless. While there are differences between phylogenetic trees and cladograms,
the terms are often used interchangeably, and their basic structure is the same.
Species
Trait A B C D
Backbone 0 1 1 1
Tail 0 0 1 1
Jaw Bone 0 0 0 1
Time
As descendant populations emerge from ancestral species, it forms a
lineage, which can be depicted as a line in a phylogenetic tree. If a
divergence event occurs, then the single lineage can split into two.
This splitting is represented as a branch point, or node. Each node
represents the most recent common ancestor for the lineages
diverging from that node. The root of the tree is the common ancestor
of all organisms in the tree. If a root is present, the tree is said to be
rooted. When determining evolutionary relationships using
cladograms, derived traits are used as evidence of common ancestry.
Derived traits are traits that evolved in the lineage leading up to a
clade and that sets members of that clade apart from other individuals.
Derived traits are represented on cladograms on the lineage in which
they evolved.
R= root
N= node N
N R
Many trees also include an outgroup, which is the organism that is the least closely related to the rest. Examine the
chart below and the corresponding phylogenetic tree to answer the questions.
1. Which species represents the outgroup? Why?
2. Define derived traits. What derived traits are being used as
evidence for common ancestry in the phylogenetic tree?
3. What derived traits are shared between species B and C?

Reading Phylogenetic Trees
Phylogenetic trees and cladograms can be represented in a variety of ways. For example, look at the three cladograms
below; each is a different shape, but they each represent the same evolutionary history. It might be difficult to see at
first that these three phylogenetic trees contain the same information. Think of trees as flexible, rather than rigid
structures. For example, phylogenetic trees can be rotated, twisted, or bent without changing the information it
contains. As you become more familiar with trees, this will become clearer.
Directions:
To help you see the similarities between each tree above, you will be using colors and shapes to highlight the different
parts of EACH tree. For each of the three trees do the following:
1. Identify the outgroup and box the whole lineage in red.
2. Identify the most recent common ancestor for species A and B. Circle it in blue.
3. Identify the most recent common ancestor for species C and D. Circle it in green.
4. Place a star at the most recent common ancestor that A-D share.
5. Place a triangle at the most recent common ancestor that A-E share.
Use the trees above to answer the following questions (remember each tree shows identical information):
6. Which letter represents the outgroup?
7. Which is more closely related: A and B or A and C. Why? (hint: find the most recent common ancestor)
8. Which is more closely related: A and B or C and D? Why?

Directions:
Examine the chart below: 0 means the trait is absent, 1 means the trait is present. Notice that a couple of things are
different from the previous charts. Firstly, the derived traits and species name have switched axis. Secondly, you will
see that in this chart there are derived traits that have evolved independently in different organisms. Use the principle
of maximum parsimony to make a draft of the cladogram. The theory of maximum parsimony states that the
simplest explanation consistent with the data should be examined first. The most parsimonious trees require the fewest
evolutionary events. Construct your own cladogram using the information from the chart as a guide.
