Your descendants have fortunately inherited your fascination with rodent genetics
Fifty thousand years after the original volcanic eruption (a vicariance, or vicariant event), your descendants return to the island and repeat the same sampling and DNA sequencing strategy. DNA SEQUENCE TABLE * * * * * * * * * * * * AACGT TCGAT GCCTT AGCCC TGACT ATGGT CAGTA CGTAC TTCGC Above is a sequence of the mtDNA region analyzed. The 12 stars mark the 12 nucleotide sites that vary among the individuals sequenced. Note that most of the nucleotide sites are the same across all individuals sampled. In presenting the sequences of five randomly selected individuals below, we show only the base pairs at each of the 12 variable sites.

AAAGGCGGTCGT ***If you have population sequence data from an actual gene this could also be used to talk about specific mutation patterns in that specific gene. Alternatively you could also supply SNP data over time to help students better understand different types of markers used with many genomic level studies. This decision is up to the instructor. Many don't discuss SNP data in their course, so the example could be used as is. Their data indicate there is no reproductive isolation between members of A1 and A2. Compare the DNA sequences presented above and give the amount of variation expected: ...between two randomly chosen individuals of A2. A. relatively low variation B. moderate variation C. relatively high variation
__________ are free-living and usually kill their prey. Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s)
The onset of puberty
A. is typically earlier in girls than boys. B. involves increased production of estrogen or testosterone. C. causes changes in body structure. D. All of the above are correct.
In insects, as in humans, the presence of a Y chromosome determines maleness.
