Many species of animals make alarm calls, whichwarn others in their group that a predator isapproaching. Alarm calls also attract the attention of the predator, making it more likely thatthe individual making the call will be eaten. Whymight natural selection favor the evolution ofalarm calls in a species? How might you test thathypothesis?
Which of the following is not an observation orinference on which natural selection is based?(A) There is heritable variation amongindividuals.(B) Poorly adapted individuals never produceoffspring.(C) Species produce more offspring than the environment cansupport.(D) Only a fraction of an individual’s offspring may survive.
Two species of fish had recently undergone sympatric speciation. The males of each species had a different coloring through which females could identify and choose a partner from her own species. After some time, pollution made the lake so cloudy it was hard for females to distinguish colors. What might take place in this situation?
EVOLUTION LINK Charles Darwin once said, It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. Explain what he meant.

The above image shows four different finches that Charles Darwin found while on the Galapagos Islands. This information led Darwin to develop the idea that organisms change, or evolve, over time. Which of these would best describe what Darwin saw as the MAJOR difference(s) between these finches? A) They all ate different food B) They all lived in different areas C) Both where they lived and what they ate were different D) Only their beak size was different and they lived together and ate the same food.
