The pedigree shows the inheritance of free
earlobes and attached earlobes in five
generations of a family. Attached earlobes are
caused by recessive alleles.
Is individual 2 homozygous or
heterozygous for free earlobes?
Explain.
The individual is heterozygous (Ff),
since her daughter has attached
earlobes. The daughter inherited one
allele for attached earlobes from
individual 2 and another from
individual 1.
How many children of
individuals 4 and 5 have
attached earlobes?
None of those children have
attached earlobes.
Can you be certain of the genotype
of individual 5? Explain.
No, the genotype of individual 5 is
uncertain because his children have free
earlobes. Thus, individual 5 could be
homozygous (FF) or heterozygous (Ff) for
free earlobes. If, however, one of his
children had attached earlobes, it would
be certain that individual 5 was
heterozygous.
Predict the genotype and phenotype
of individual 14.
Individual 14 will be homozygous
for the recessive allele (ff) and will
have attached earlobes.
Are any of the descendants of
individuals 1 and 2 homozygous for
free earlobes?
No, none of the descendants are
homozygous (FF) for free earlobes.

Charles Darwin would say that sharks like
the one on the previous slide exhibit
fitness. Explain what that means, and
discuss two specific adaptations as part of
your explanation.
(1) Sharks have an overall body shape that
enables them to move rapidly through water.
(2) Sharks have a large tail and fins that
provide balance and enable them to steer. (3)
Sharks have teeth that make them successful
predators.
Evidence indicates that dolphins evolved
from ancestors that walked on land. How
can the concept of natural selection be
used to explain the evolution of the
present-day dolphin body?
The dolphin’s land-dwelling ancestors were
probably made up of populations with different
body shapes and limbs. Those land-dwellers began
to spend more time in the ocean, perhaps because
food was easier to find. In each generation, those
with bodies that moved efficiently in water survived
longer and produced more offspring than others.
Eventually, the whole population came to resemble
today’s dolphins.
Sharks and dolphins, which belong to
different vertebrate groups, are not
closely related. How can Darwin’s ideas
about evolution help explain such a
similar appearance?
Darwin proposed that over time, natural
selection made a population more fit for
its environment. Sharks and dolphins
both live in the ocean, where natural
selection favors organisms that move
efficiently through water.
If you wanted to find out whether sharks
and dolphins share homologous
structures, what structures would you
examine? Explain.
Although their skeletons are made of
different materials, there are likely to be
homologous structures in the skull,
backbone, and limbs. There may also be
homologous structures among internal
organs such as heart, brain, and digestive
system.
Suppose a dolphin population becomes
trapped in a harbor that is growing
smaller and more shallow because of
climate changes. Is it likely that the
dolphins would evolve into a landdwelling species in a few thousand years?
Explain your answer.
It is not likely: (1) Darwin emphasized that
evolution usually requires millions, not
thousands, of years. (2) The bodies of dolphins
are well adapted to life in water, with little
observable variation; it’s unlikely that the
population’s relevant characteristics could
change in just thousands of years.
Background Information:
You are assigned to participate in a conservation
project in Brazil located near the equator. The
climate is wet usually 60 to 80 inches of rain per
year. There are a large amount of organisms that
live in the tropical environment. Two-thirds of
Earth’s animal and plant species are found in a rain
forests. The rain forest environment consist of tall,
broad-leaved evergreen trees that form a leafy
canopy, as a result, there is restricted undergrowth
in rain forests because lack of sunlight at ground
level. The food resources are dispersed due to high
diversity in the region.
You arrive in Brazil to study the various species
in this environment. One particular population
in the rain forest, iguanas. They possess the
following characteristics, sharp, clawed feet;
thick, leathery skin; greenish-brown color; long
tail; finely-serrated teeth; thick, slightly-forked
tongue; and very good eye sight. They live high
in the canopy but can spend long periods of
time under water. They are classified as a
omnivore. It lays between 20 and 70 eggs at a
time in warm moist soil. These eggs undergo a
3 month incubation period.

1. Given the environment, explain what evolutionary factors
contributed to at least 5 of the characteristics.
2. Utilizing the chart and graph to infer what human activity
could have contributed to the rise in carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere
3. How might this activity directly affect the population of
iguanas in addition to the rain forest itself?
4. If the atmosphere continues to change at its current rate,
what adaptations must occur for the iguanas to become
better suited for their new environment?
