Question 1

Which term is given to the total genetic information carried by all members of a population?
◦ chromosome complement
◦ breeding unit
◦ race
◦ genome
◦ gene pool

Question 2

A number of mechanisms operate to maintain genetic diversity in a population. Why is such diversity favored?
◦ Diversity leads to inbreeding advantages.
◦ Genetic diversity helps populations avoid diploidy.
◦ Greater genetic diversity increases the chances of haploidy.
◦ Homozygosity is an evolutionary advantage.
◦ Genetic diversity may better adapt a population to inevitable changes in the environment.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
