ACTIVITY 9.2: Essay.
Directions: Read the situation and identify the points of Darwin’s natural selection. There are 2 types of worms: worms that eat at night (nocturnal) and worms that eat during the day (diurnal). The birds eat during the day and seem to be eating ONLY the diurnal worms. The nocturnal worms are in their burrows during this time. Each spring when the worms reproduce, they have about 500 babies but only 100 of tthese 500 ever become old enough to reproduce.A.

- 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.

One method is to compare their physical features, and another is to compare their DNA. Can scientists also use similarities in the embyros of two animal species to help determine how closely they are related? No, comparing embryos of organisms does not help determine how closely two species are related. Scientists can obtain the same information comparing adult organisms No, comparing embryos of organisms does not help determine how closely two species are related. The embryos change too much as they grow into adult organisms Yes, comparing embryos is a useful way of determining how closely two species are related. There may be important similarities in the features of the embryos, even when the adults look very different. Yes, it is sometimes useful to compare embryos, but only when the adults are very similararrow_forward

Student Handout Module 1: Ecomorphs 1. At the beginning of the virtual lab, you were asked to sort eight lizards into categories. What criteria did you initially use to make your groups? Did you revise your criteria later? Why? 2. An adaptation is a structure or function that is common in a population because it enhances the ability to survive and reproduce in a particular environment. Provide one example and an explanation of one adaptation in the Anolis lizards. 4. What is an ecomorph? Provide one example from the virtual lab. 3.

QUESTION: During the winter, many species of amphibians and reptiles go into a hibernation-like state called overwintering. They eat little or no food, slow their metabolism and breathing rate dramatically, and most of their bodily functions shut down. Interestingly, many of these species choose to spend the winter underwater. Why might it be advantageous to overwinter at the bottom of a pond rather than on land?

For now, assume that you have just discovered these lizards and you don't even know if they are 8 different species or 1 species or some other number of species. You just have 8 lizards, 4 from each island. b. Following the module, group the lizards by morphology. i. How many groups did you find?_ ii. What sorts of traits or characters did you use to group the lizards? c. Then take some more careful measurements as shown and regroup them if needed. i. Did your measurements match the reference set? ii.
