In spadefoot toads there are two forms of the tadpoles: omnivores and carnivores. Environmental factors such as population density, oxygen concentration, and availability of food determine which form any particular tadpole takes. Consider the situation below. A single pair of toads produces a fertilized group of eggs in a pond. The pond dries a bit creating two separate ponds, one is deep and the other is shallow. All the tadpoles in the deep pond become omnivores and all the tadpoles in the deep pond become carnivores. There is a heavy rain and the ponds become connected again and the two groups of tadpoles mix together. The carnivores eat most of the omnivores and more of the carnivores become adult toads This is an example of Group of answer choices A. natural selection and evolution B. evolution only C. natural selection only
King penguins are flightless aquatic birds found primarily in the Southern hemisphere. They live as a large colony and have highly social interactions. King penguins begin reproducing at six years of age and lay one or two eggs per reproductive cycle.Males and females share the incubation duties and raise the chicks together for about 15 months. When the young penguins get older, they form a large group guarded by only a few adult penguins, allowing the parents to forage for food without having to worry about their young. As a population, penguins could be classified as Select one: a. r-selected because only a few adult penguins care for the young penguins b. K-selected because they only lay one or two eggs per reproductive cycle c. K-selected because they live in a large colony, often sharing responsibility for caring for the young penguins d. r-selected because of the relatively long breeding cycle

Iguana Decline In 1987, Martin Wikelski began a long-term study of marine iguanas in the Calapgos Islands. He marked iguanas on two islandsGenovesa and Santa Feand collected data on how their body size, survival, and reproductive rates varied over time. He found that because iguanas eat algae and have no predators, deaths usually result from food shortages, disease, or old age. In January 2001, an oil tanker ran aground and leaked a small amount of oil into the waters near Santa Fe. FIGURE 44.17 shows the number of marked iguanas that Wikelski and his team counted in their study populations just before the spill and about a year later. FIGURE 44.17 Shifting numbers of marked marine iguanas on two Galpagos islands. An oil spill occurred near Santa Fe just after the January 2001 census (orange bars). A second census was carried out in December 2001 (green bars). 3. Wikelski concluded that changes on Santa He were the result of the oil spill, rather than sea temperature or other climate factors common to both islands. How would the census numbers be different from those he observed if an adverse event had affected both Islands?
