Chapter 31.5, Problem 1TC
Summary Introduction

To describe: The events that happened to the population of coyotes and white-tailed deer between 1700 and now in terms of their range and abundance.

Introduction: Before 1700, wolves roamed over almost all-over North America, coyotes were found mostly in the west of the Mississippi, and white-tailed deer lived throughout the eastern United States, and here most of the land was covered with coniferous or deciduous forests. Wolves reduce the coyote and white-tailed deer population by chasing and hunting them.

Imagine three islands, each with a population of frogs. There are approximately 1,100 frogs on Island 1, 400 on Island 2, and 400 on Island 3. Researchers estimate that these populations have been separated for 800 years. Individuals in these populations show variation in markings on their body by shape and color. Frogs on Islands 1 and 2 have circle markings that are either red, blue, or purple. All frogs on Island 3 have yellow triangle markings.  The islands recently became a tourist destination, with new passenger boats connecting Island 1 and Island 2, and Island 1 and Island 3 (there is no boat that goes between Island 2 and Island 3).   Would a biologist agree or disagree with the following statements?  part 1:  It is possible that yellow or triangle markings exists on Island 1 at some point in the past. Question options:   Agree   Disagree part 2:  Genetic drift is not occurring on Island 1.   Question options:…
