Evolution is a change in frequencies of alleles in the gene pool of a population. This definition of evolution was developed as a result of the work in the 20th century by Hardy and Weinberg. Through mathematical modeling based on probability, they concluded that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of evolutionary influences. Evolution will not occur in a population if seven conditions are met:
1. mutation is not occurring
2. natural selection is not occurring
3. the population is infinitely large
4. all members of the population breed
5. mating is totally random
6. everyone produces the same number of offspring
7. there is migration in or out of the population
Iguanas are living in a relatively dry habitat. Imagine a change in the iguana's habitat from dry land to aquatic. Based on the Generation I allelic frequencies, we can assume only a small percentage of iguanas had webbed feet. Predict what should happen to the allelic frequencies within the iguana population over time.

A) The heterozygous genotype will eventually increase to 100% in the gene pool.
B) The dominant and recessive alleles will eventually balance out in the population.
C) The dominant allele will decrease while the recessive will increase in the gene pool.
D) The recessive allele will begin to mask the effects of the dominant allele over time.

Acar company is testing seatbelts using crash test dummies. the company finds that when cars come to a sudden stop, the crash test dummies' bodies continue to move forward. the seat belt keeps the crash test dummies from hitting the back of the seat in front of them. why do the crash test dummies' bodies continue to move forward even though the car stopped? a. the friction opposing their bodies' movement keeps them in motion. b. the inertia of their bodies keeps them in motion. c. the forward acceleration of the car keeps them in motion. d. the gravity pulling on the car keeps them in motion.

Explain the cellular functions that occur when antibiotics attack a bacteria cell. a. antibiotics target the cell wall, cell membrane, and the processes of protein and nucleic acids production in bacteria to rupture the cell. b. antibiotics create dormant resistant endospores to preserve the genetic material and rupture the cell. c. antibiotics target the cell wall and form a bridge-like connection to form conjugation. d. antibiotics use binary fission to grow twice its size, replications its dna, and split into two cells.
