If populations of white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) continue to decline, one approach to prevent extinction would be captive breeding. How does this process work?   a. The remaining animals are moved into captivity to try to increase the population, after which they are reintroduced into the wild.   b. The remaining animals are moved to a national park.   c. The remaining animals are taken to the largest zoos so more people can see them.   d. A few individuals are moved to an outdoor enclosure to ensure that mates are available.

Which hypothesis is plausible for the extinction of the dodo bird? Select all answers that apply. A. The food and other resources they required became scarce due to climate change. B. An asteroid crashed into the region where the birds lived and only affected their survival and not the other animals that lived there. C. Cannibalism within the species caused the population to decline. D. Each bird dove into the water even though it could not swim, which led to mass drownings. U E. Predators, including humans, hunted and killed the population to a point that it could not recover. red MacBook Air 80 F3 F1 DO0 F4 F2 F5 F7 % & %24 23

Darwin's concept of evolution "the theory of decent with modification through variation and natural selection" can best be demonstrated by which of the following examples?   a. A giraffe stretches his neck to reach higher branches. The exercise of stretching up strengthens the muscles in the giraffe's neck and legs. This ability to stretch is also seen in the giraffe's offspring.   b. A monkey accidentally drops her fruit in the salty water of a bay. She recovers the fruit and eats it. She discovers the fruit is cleaner and tastes better after it has been in the salty water. She continues to wash the fruit in the bay before eating it. Her offspring see what she has done and also wash their fruit in the salty water. Soon, the whole population of monkeys is washing their fruit.   c. Several turtles hatch from a clutch of eggs buried in the sand on a beach. One of the turtles is the color of the sand; the others are darker in color. The turtles scurry toward the water,…

Members of some species will sound warning calls when they notice predators even though this increases the likelihood the predator will find the individual that provided the alarm. The evolution of such behaviors provides evidence for which hypothesis?   A. Evolution selects behaviors that increase the ability of individuals in a species to camouflage.   B. Evolution selects behaviors that increase the likelihood that individuals in a species will reproduce.   C. Evolution selects behaviors that increase the the likelihood that individuals in a species that share similar genes will survive and reproduce.   D. Evolution selects behaviors that increase the likelihood that individuals in a species that share similar genes will migrate.
