A horse breeder takes a horse that has won several races and breeds it with another horse that has won several races. These two horses produce 3 colts over their lifetime, and the breeder takes the fastest of these horses and breeds them again. After several generations of such a process, the breeder has produced a horse faster than any other in the world. Is this an example of microevolution or macroevolution? 05. If a colony of bacteria were to give rise to an amoeba, would this be an example of microevolution or macroevolution? 06. Of the four basic data sets discussed in this module, which ones provide conclusive evidence for macroevolution? 07. Of the four basic data sets discussed in this module, which ones provide conclusive evidence against macroevolution? 08. Some creationists say that all of the ideas set forth in Darwin's book, The Origin of Species, were wrong. Why is this not true? 09. The sequence of amino acids in the hemoglobin of a human is determined and compared to the sequence of amino acids in the hemoglobin of a rat and an ape. According to macroevolutionists, which of the two amino acids sequences should be closer to that of the human's? 10. How does the neo-Darwinist hypothesis differ from the hypothesis of Darwin? 11. What problem with both Darwin's original hypothesis and neo-Darwinism does punctuated equilibrium attempt to solve? 12. Consider the following amino acid sequences that make up a small portion of a protein: a. Gly-Ile-Gly-Gly-Arg-His-Gly-Gly-Glu(NH2)-Glu-Glu(NH2)-Lys-Lys-Lys b. Gly-Leu-Phe-Gly-Arg-Lys-Ser-Gly-Glu(NH2)-Gly-Glu(NH2)-Ala-Arg-Lys c. Leu-Ile-Gly-Gly-Arg-His-Ser-Gly-Glu(NH2)-Ala-Glu(NH2)-Arg-Arg-Arg Which protein would you expect to be the most similar to a protein with the following subset of amino acids? Phe-Ile-Gly-Gly-Arg-His-Gly-Gly-Glu(NH2)-Glu-Glu(NH2)-Lys-Lys-Lys
