Question 1
How is artificial selection different from natural selection?
Artificial selection is the only kind of selection that can occur in a laboratory.
Artificial selection is selection by humans rather than the environment.
Artificial selection changes traits but not genes.
Artificial selection can occur over one or two generations as opposed to many generations.

Question 2
Which of the following BEST describes why the process of evolution is easier to study in fruit flies than in birds?
Fruit flies have a much shorter generation time than birds.
Fruit flies are smaller than birds.
Fruit flies have a simpler diet than birds.
Fruit flies do not live as long as birds.

Question 3
Which of the following statements about the gene pool of a species is TRUE?
The genes in a species are only part of a universal gene pool that encompasses all species.
The gene pool is different in different individuals of the same species.
Every individual of a species carries part of the gene pool for that species in its chromosomes.
Every individual of a species carries the whole gene pool for that species in its chromosomes.

Question 4
The number of cases of Tuberculosis (TB) has risen because:
TB learned to survive antibiotic treatment.
Random mutation has resulted in antibiotic resistant TB.
Antibiotics do not treat TB.
There are not enough sanatoriums for treatment.

Question 9
Consider what you have learned about natural selection and mutation concerning health issues like TB and head lice, and apply it to pesticide use and farming. Explain what is meant by a "pesticide treadmill" and why it is a concern to farmers and consumers.

Your response should be at least 200 words in length.
