Read this quote from Charles Darwin (from Origin of Species). What is he describing? "Thus, I can understand how a flower and a bee might slowly become, either simultaneously or one after the other, modified and adapted to each other in the most perfect manner, by the continued preservation of all the individuals which presented slight deviations of structure mutually favorable to one another." An interaction network. A predator/prey cycle. O Coevolution. An obligate mutualism.
Prey have evolved many adaptations to predators. A green lizard that lives in a green tree is showing what type of adaptation? Group of answer choices Batesian mimicry Mullerian mimicry Cryptic coloration Aposematic coloration
Behavior influences how organisms experience the environment and thus patterns of natural selection on behavioral traits. Which of the following examples is consistent with this statement? Some lizards in complex tropical forests prefer to hang out on tree trunks and branches, rather than the ground substrate, which has resulted in selection for shorter relative limb length and toe pads that can cling to bark. Ground-burrowing mammals experience greater exposure to dust and increased selection on their respiratory system to filter these particulates. Specialist parasitoids only target a handful of different host/prey types, resulting in a predictable resource and less selection on the ability to learn new resources All of the above Imagine that scientists have just discovered a weird new marine tunicate at extreme depths of the ocean. They have a novel kind of neurotransmitter – maritonin – that binds to the “maritonin” receptor, which is permeable to negatively charged iodine ions…
Your friend remarks, "The giraffe stretched its neck while reaching for higher leaves; as a result, its offspring inherited longer necks” Which statement is the best response to correct your friend’s misconception? Group of answer choices Overproduction of offspring leads to a struggle for survival. Disuse of an organ may lead to its eventual disappearance. Characteristics acquired during an organism's life are generally not passed on through genes to its offspring. Only favorable adaptations have survival value.
Which of the following statement(s) about adaptations is true? “Adaptation” is another word for “acclimatization.” or They are traits that confer increased fitness in a given environment.

A defence mechanism is how the sea cucumber fires its internal organs at attackers. How would this defence mechanism have evolved over time due to pressure from predation and/or competition? Please explain in details.

Which of the following is a primate species that appears to be using scientific reasoning skills (based on their ability to make inferences that predict future events accurately)? ravens that add pebbles to a narrow vase of water until the water level rises high enough to drink dolphins that communicate using complex underwater sounds, including personal “names” honeybees that communicate sunlight and flower locations to each other by elaborate dances termites that construct well-ventilated mud buildings several feet tall gorillas that use a walking stick to measure the depth of a river that they want to cross
