The exam has 200 points 1. EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY. Empathy is often considered a uniquely human trait, but does helpful behavior based on empathy exist in other organisms? In 2015, Sato et al (Animal Cognition 18: ) studied whether rats would assist other rats who appeared to be in distress. Cages were set up in which a focal rat would be in the middle "ground" area while another rat was placed into water in a "pool" area and had to swim for up to 5 minutes (which they do not like at all). In experiment #1 the researchers then measured the time taken (latency) for the focal rat to open the door to the pool area and allow the "soaked rat" to escape. They gave each rat 12 sessions of 300 seconds and measured how long it took them to open the door. Since this behavior may just reflect helpfulness and not empathy, they reversed roles and then did the same test with the "soaked rats" from the first trials - the reasoning being that if they demonstrated the helpful behavior more quickly after experiencing the soaking, then this may be due to increased empathy. (a, 3 pts ea) In the pair of figures below draw data that does (left) and does not (right) support the hypothesis that rats feel empathy for other rats in distress and that this is enhanced when they have experienced the same distress themselves. Use dark and open circles to represent the mean values for the two treatments in order (i.e., initial naive rats in dark and role-reversed rats with open circles). Actual figure from paper These results are not enough because this helpful behavior may also arise just from a pro-social behavior in which the rats just want companionship, regardless of what's happening to the other rat. The experiment was therefore repeated, Experiment #2, but there was no water in the pool area. (b, 3 pts ea) In the pair of figures below draw data that does (left) and does not (right) support the hypothesis that the helpful behavior was driven by empathy for other rats in distress instead of just a desire for companionship. Use dark circles to represent the mean values for the treatment. Actual figure from paper
2 Bio 312, Spring 2018 Exam 4 ( 2 ) Name: 2. HUMAN EVOLUTION. I claimed that evidence exists that implies that Homo neanderthalensis individuals were some of the first humans to truly consider the wellbeing and metal state of their fellows as well as have thoughts about abstract ideas about situations they could not see or hadn't experienced. These are key steps in the achievement of true conscious being. List the two pieces of evidence and what they each may imply. (4 pts each) Piece of evidence 1: A fossil with a healed broken leg indicates care taking of those too injured to care for themselves. Piece of evidence 2: Flower petals placed on the bodies of the dead suggest that perhaps survivors had concepts of an afterlife they were improving or that the dead body had meaning beyond just a corpse. When looking at the fossil skulls of our relatives and ancestors, I described three general trends in the evolution of the human skull over time. Two of these trends are apparent from a lateral view of the skull while the other is best observed from underneath. These trends indicate changes in lifestyle and behavior of our ancestors. Describe the changes in the skull due to each of the following inferred changes in the lifestyle or other traits of our ancestor. (4 pts each) (a, trend associated with intelligence): The size of the brain increases in animals with larger groups sizes as the brain is selected to process more social relationships, the human brain increased as our groups increased in size and the complexity of our behaviors increased. (b, trend associated with food): The size of the jaws reduces and the mouth protrudes less as we shifted to eating softer foods and cooked foods, causing a flatter profile face. (c, trend associated with upright posture): The foramen magnum moves anteriorly on the ventral surface of the skull as the spine moves under the skull due to a more erect upright walking posture.
3 Bio 312, Spring 2018 Exam 4 ( 3 ) Name: 3. HETEROZYGOTE DISADVANTAGE. Consider Genotype Fitness a scenario of asymmetric underdominance with fitness values AA 1 represented as in the box to the right. Aa 1-s aa 1+t (a, 4 pts) Derive the equation for p, the equilibrium frequency of the "A" allele. (Show all steps in your derivation) p = 0 = pq w [p(w 11 w 12 ) + q(w 12 w 22 )] 0 = [p(1 (1 s)) + q(1 s (1 + t))] 0 = [sp q(s + t)] 0 = [sp (1 p)(s + t)] 0 = sp s t + ps + pt s + t = 2sp + pt s + t = p(2s + t) p = s + t 2s + t (b, 2 pts) If s=0.1 and t=0.2, what would the equilibrium frequency of the "A" allele be?. (You must show your work) p = s + t = 2s + t = = (c, 4 pts) If p=0.7 and using the values for s and t from part (b), what is p, the change in the value of p in a single generation? (Show all steps in your calculation) p = pq w [p(w 11 w 12 ) + q(w 12 w 22 )] p = (0.7)(0.3) [0.7(0.1) + 0.3( 0.3)] w substitute, w = p 2 (w 11 ) + 2pq(w 12 ) + q 2 (w 22 ) = (0.49)(1) (0.9) (1.2) = p = 0.21 [ ] p = [ 0.02] = (d, 2 pts) What does your answer in (c) imply for the stability of the equilibrium you calculated in part (b) and why? Since p is negative when the frequency is smaller than the equilibrium, the equilibrium is unstable because a negative perturbation will result in the fixation of the "a" allele.
4 Bio 312, Spring 2018 Exam 4 ( 4 ) Name: 4. PHYLOGENETICS. Consider a set of eight taxa - A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H - for which the phylogeny can be described using the following: - Taxa A, B, D, and G constitute a monophyletic group. - Taxa A, B, and G constitute a paraphyletic group. - Taxa C, F, and H constitute a monophyletic group. - Taxon E is the outgroup. - There are two sets of sister taxa: B and G, F and H. In the two boxes below draw the correct phylogeny for these eight taxa. In the box on the left use orthogonal lines with more recent events further to the right. (4 pts) In the box on the right use angled lines with more recent events closer to the top. (4 pts) (A miniature diagram of the desired format is shown in each box) E C H F A D G B E H F C A D G B 5. BREEDER'S EQUATION. Consider a situation in which a population of 284 individuals has a range of values for a quantitative trait like mass. (a, 5 pts) Consider a scenario in which the mean of the overall h 2 = population is 280 Kg and a subset with a mean mass of 290 Kg is chosen for mating, if they produce an offspring generation with a mean mass of 283 Kg, what is the narrow sense heritability of the population? (provide answer to nearest 0.001) (b, 5 pts) Now consider a scenario in which we choose a subset Mean = on individuals with a mean mass of 286 Kg from the offspring generation and mate them, what is the expected mean mass of the third generation? (provide answer to nearest 0.001)

6 Bio 312, Spring 2018 Exam 4 ( 6 ) Name: 7. POPULATION GENETICS (a, 3 pts) If a recessive lethal disease is observed to afflict 1 in om every 200,000 babies what is the frequency of this allele? freq. = _ _ from q 2 = 1/200,000 (b, 3 pts) If a dominant deleterious disease has a fitness cost of 10% and arises due to mutations that occur at a rate of 10-6 per locus per generation, what is the expected frequency of the allele that causes this disease? freq. = _10-5 from q = u/hs = 10-6 /(1)(0.1) (c, 3 pts) Why is inbreeding bad for a population? (be precise in the cause of its negative effects) Raises frequency of individuals homozygous for recessive deleterious alleles For the remaining questions, assume a single "Aa" mutant individual in a population otherwise consisting entirely of "aa" individuals. The population size is 200 individuals and the generation time is 6 years. (d, 3 pts) If the "A" allele is fully dominant and provides a fitness advantage of 4%, what is the probability that the A allele will fix? prob. = 8 % Twice the advantage of the heterozygote for selected alleles (e, 3 pts) If the "A" allele is fully neutral (i.e., provides no fitness advantage), what is the probability that the A allele will fix? prob. = 0.25_% from p(fix) = 1/2N = 1/400 for neutral alleles (f, 3 pts) If the allele in part (d) does fix, how long would this take? time. = _4,800 years time = 4N generations = 4 x 200 = 800 generations x 6 years = 4,800 years.
7 Bio 312, Spring 2018 Exam 4 ( 7 ) Name: 8. FILL IN THE BLANK (2 pts each) Fill in the blank with the term that best describes or defines the phrase given. An evolutionary constraint imposed by the lack of the production for a heritable genetic variant is termed a developmental evolutionary constraint whereas one imposed by physical limitations is termed a functional constraint. Darwin is often credited with identifying natural selection as the causal mechanism of evolution, this discovery is actually shared with a contemporary individual named George Wallace. The Phanerozoic eon is divided into 3 eras. From oldest to most recent, they are the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and the Cenozoic The Mesozoic era is divided into 3 periods. From oldest to most recent, they are the Triassic, Jurassic, and the Cretaceous Dinosaurs went extinct approximately 65 million years ago. The Cambrian explosion occurred approximately 543 million years ago. Broadly speaking, selection can be divided into selection for adaptations that increase survival and those that increase reproduction. Selection solely on the former is termed viability selection whereas selection solely on the second is termed sexual selection When we study populations from the perspective of quantitative genetics the overall morphological variance is represented by the mathematical term _Vp. This variance is due to two major causes; variation caused by _genetics and variation caused by environment. The numerical contributions of these sources are represented by the mathematical terms _V G_ and _V E_. Phylogenies are constructed using shared derived traits, such traits are termed synapomorphies_ which are distinct from shared ancestral traits termed symplesiomorphies_ Similarity due to common ancestry is termed _homology whereas similarity due to present function is termed analogy and is often the result of _convergent evolution. The accepted reason that altruism is so rare (or even nonexistent) is because selection at the level of the _individual overwhelms selection at the level of the group (or species).

9 Bio 312, Spring 2018 Exam 4 ( 9 ) Name: Use the following information for the next 3 questions The MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) proteins are involved in the immune response of many animals, including humans. These proteins bind with antigens and are used by antigen presenting cells to activate T-cells as part of the immune response. Different MHC proteins bind with different antigens with different efficiencies. Evidence suggests that individuals with more distinct MHC proteins (higher degrees of heterozygosity) seem to be better at resisting disease due to their ability to efficiently recognize a wider variety of antigens.

What type of assortative mating is generated by this behavior? (A) Positive (C) Negative (E) Viability (B) Neutral (D) Sexual (9) Studies with humans have shown that females prefer the odor of T-shirts worn by males possessing MHC alleles different from their own. What kind of female choice factor discussed in class is most likely involved in human female mate choice with regard to their choice of mates based on MHC alleles?
