Alternate Question 17
A student is studying several species that belong to the bacteria domain. Examine the scientific names provided below and determine which two microorganisms are the most closely related. Identify the two microbes that are the most closely related by providing their specific epithets. Next, explain why the two microbes were selected by providing information that was learned in this unit.

The picture above shows how a strain of bacteria has become resistant to antibiotics. Using your understanding of evolution, explain how the original bacteria population has changed over time. In your answer discuss gene pool, allele frequency and the changes that occurred resulting in natural selection.

In an animal population, the physical appearance of males and females can be noticeably different. As shown by the picture above, adult males are not only larger than females, but they also have a mane of long hair on the side of the face and top of the head. Using the lion as your example, describe how the mechanism of natural selection may have led to the evolution of the male's distinguishing characteristics.
