Different species are distinguished by their diet. size. DNA. physical appearance.

Another way to say "Natural Selection" is: differential success in reproduction mutation selective breeding differential access to mating partners variation O preferential sex choices

Misconception: Evolutionary theory implies that life evolved (and continues to evolve) randomly, or by chance. Correction:

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic that defines life? Order O Adaptaion O Energy processing Color

Insects are the largest group of animals on Earth. Insect diversity is greatest in the tropics, where habitat destruction and species extinction are occurring at an alarming rate. What biological, economic, and ethical arguments can you advance to persuade people and governments to preserve this biological diversity? Instructions:

Activity: Factors involved in Natural Selection / Interpreting X-Y graphs The boldness of bass A recent study of largemouth bass, a type of freshwater fish, showed that individual fish have distinct personality types. The researchers looked at a fish's willingness to explore a new environment, which they called boldness. A more bold fish is one that will readily explore when placed in a new setting. Their study considers if boldness may be an adaptive trait, that is, subject to natural selection. The researchers therefore looked at the correlation between parent and offspring boldness scores, as shown in the figure. A. What pattern is illustrated by this figure? What factor(s) necessary for natural selection are shown in this graph? The association between the boldness scores OF Parents & Children is depicted in the image. Offspring boldness score I+ demonstrates the heredity Of audacity, an element required For natural selection 0.5- 0.0- -0.5- -1.0- 0.5 1.0 Parent boldness score…

STUDYING 6 Statistical exercise: Corals and Temperature Science often involves gathering data. The data may be counts or measurements or lists of species or may take many other forms; however, it is very common that biological data can be represented numerically. Raw data are often too repeti- tive and boring to be appreciated directly. They need to be sta- tistically summarized. The most ordinary way to get started on summarizing data is to enter them in a spreadsheet, such as Excel. Excel also allows one to graph data and do simple analyses. Today and in future labs, you will use Excel in these statistical exercise sections; today we will focus on how to cre- ate and use a spreadsheet. We will start with data gathered by Hollie Putnam, a stu- dent interested in understanding how water temperature af- fected the growth of coral. To determine this, Hollie took cor- als from their native habitat, where the average water tempera- 1 2 3 4 5 Create an Excel file with the data in the lab…
