The term gene pool refers to all the
 
  A. alleles, genes, chromosomes, and genotypes within a breeding population.
  B. mutations in a breeding population.
  C. alleles, genes, chromosomes, and genotypes of the animal kingdom.
  D. processes of achieving a perfect fit to the environment.
  E. mechanisms of competition over strategic resources.

Question 2

Early on in this chapter, we learned that evolution refers to descent with modification over generations. Geneticists, however, have an even more specific definition of evolution:
 
  A. directional selection of the fittest alleles in a breeding population.
  B. a change in gene frequency; that is, in the frequency of alleles in a breeding population from generation to generation.
  C. a change in the gene frequency within the DNA of a single individual organism.
  D. the survival of the chemically fittest allele in the gene pool.
  E. a change in gene frequency caused by either chromosomal rearrangement or recombination.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
