In order to understand the impact of climate change, a scientist collected measurements of average yearly sea surface temperatures from 1880 to 2012. His data is graphed below. How has average ocean temperature changed in the period from 1980 to 2010? a graph depicting yearly sea surface temperature from 1880-2012. The X axis represents the years from 1880 to 2010 in increments of ten years. The Y axis represents the difference from average temperature in degrees Fahrenheit ranging from -1.6 to 0.6. 1880 shows a temperature difference of -0.8, 1890 shows a temperature difference of -1.1, 1900 shows a temperature difference of -1.05, 1910 shows a temperature difference of -1.5, 1920 shows a temperature difference of -1.15, 1930 shows a temperature difference of -0.9, 1940 shows a temperature difference of -0.55, 1950 shows a temperature difference of -0.8, 1960 shows a difference of -0.5, 1970 shows a difference of -0.7, 1980 shows a temperature difference of -0.3, 1990 shows a temperature difference of -0.2, 2000 shows a temperature difference of -0.19 and 2010 shows a temperature difference of 0.1.

Ocean temperatures have decreased on average.
Ocean temperatures have increased on average.
Ocean temperatures have become more varied on average.
Ocean temperatures have become less varied on average.

the african cheetah.

this species has a relatively low level of genetic

variation because the population was reduced to a small size approxi-

mately 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.

until   now,   we   have   primarily   focused   our   attention   on   genes  

within   individuals   and   their   related   family   members.   in   this  

chapter   and   chapters   25   and   26   ,   we   turn   to   the   study   of   genes   in  

a   population   or   species.   the   field   of

population   genetics

  is   con-

cerned   with   changes   in   genetic   variation   within   a   group   of   indi-

viduals   over   time.   population   geneticists   want   to   know   the   extent  

of   genetic   variation   within   populations,   why   it   exists,   and   how   it  

changes   over   the   course   of   many   generations.   the   field   of   popu-

lation   genetics   emerged   as   a   branch   of   genetics   in   the   1920s   and  

1930s.   its   mathematical   foundations   were   developed   by   theoreti-

cians   who   extended   the   principles   of   gregor   mendel   and   charles  

darwin   by   deriving   formulas   to   explain   the   occurrence   of   geno-

types   within   populations.   these   foundations   can   be   largely   attrib-

uted to three scientists: sir ronald fisher, sewall wright, and j. b. s.

haldane.   as   we   will   see,   support   for   their   mathematical   theories  

was provided by several researchers who analyzed the genetic com-

position   of   natural   and   experimental   populations.   more   recently,  

population   geneticists   have   used   techniques   to   probe   genetic  

variation   at   the   molecular   level.   in   addition,   staggering   advances  

in   computer   technology   have   aided   population   geneticists   in   the  

analysis   of   their   genetic   theories   and   data.   in   this   chapter,   we   will  

explore   the   genetic   variation   that   occurs   in   populations   and   con-

sider   the   reasons   why   the   genetic   composition   of   populations   may  

change over the course of several generations
