Why was guppy research involving transporting guppies to new habitats and observing changes in reproductive traits able to demonstrate both evolution and adaptation? I) the changes in reproductive traits were predicted by the change in environment II) they demonstrated that the guppies had become a different species III) demonstrate that the guppies never changed back over many years IV) demonstrate that guppy reproductive traits had a genetic basis (in the lab) Group of answer choices A. II and IV B. I and II C. I and III D. I and IV E. II and III

how has natural selection affected the bunny population and resulted in evolution of this species?
When we take, say, 100 individuals of a species of beetle from the wild and place them in a new environment that is not so different that they are unable to thrive but different enough so that they are experiencing a new selective regime, say, a lower temperature, what typically happens? A - Sexual selection causes some larvae to be able to survive in the cooler temperatures and other individuals to be unable to survive because they need warmer temperatures. B - We are unable to measure phenotypic selection, presumably because we do not have much variation among individuals for how they handle temperature. C - The founder event assures us that the new population will be strictly representative of the source population (especially if we took all the 100 from the same location rather that from throughout the range of the species). D - The population evolves to be tolerant of the lower temperature; it can do this because of latent variation already in the 100 founding individuals. E -…
Fixity of Species refers to… Group of answer choices A-the theory that species exist at a fixed location along a physiological continuum B-the fact that species are defined by fixed adaptations to their direct environment C-the theory presented by Thomas Malthus that population densities of any given species are most affected by mortality and fertility rates D-the pre-darwinian notion that species, once created, can never change E-the late 19th century concept that because mendelian traits are fixed they are evidence that variation within and between species are designed by God specifically for those species
Which of the following is correct concerning adaptations? (Choose one.) Group of answer choices a)They always increase an organism's ability to survive better than other individuals in the population. b)They can increase an organism's ability to survive better or reproduce better than other individuals, but not both at the same time. c)They increase an organism's ability to reproduce better than other individuals in the population, in a given environment. d)They result from any mechanism of evolution.
