The graph shows the frequency of two traits, 1 and 2, in a population.

Part A: Use information from the circle graph to infer which trait is most likely favored by natural selection.

Part B: Explain how natural selection could lead to the trait distribution shown in the circle graph.

Part C: Scientists predict that over time 0% of the population will have trait 2. Explain why this change in trait distribution could result in negative consequences for the population.

Ivan read a story about a population of mice that become stranded in a dark jungle. Some mice were dark brown, while others were white. According to the process of natural selection, predict which color of mice would be more successful living in a dark jungle. Explain the concept of natural selection and your prediction in your response.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statement best explain this bacteria's antibiotic resistance?

• Antibiotic resistant bacteria happen by chance (mutation). This adaptation is pass on to future generations

• Bacteria needed to survive so they just adapt to the antibiotic

• Bacteria develop an adapatation to survive and then pass this adaptation to future generations

Multiple Choice

What is the phenomenon described in the image related to the occurrence of dark-colored individuals due to environmental changes?

• Industrial Melanism

• Natural Selection

• Genetic Drift

• Color Variation

Multiple Choice

How did the dark environment cause a change in the frequency of phenotypes in the peppered moth populations?

• White moths adapted by changing their color to dark so they could camouflage better.

• Darker moths survived & reproduced, having offspring of the same color.

• The dark environment caused mutations in the moth population to having a dark phenotype.

• Dark moths moved into the area because they knew they would have higher chances of surviving in the dark environment.

When penicillin was first introduced, Staphylococci infections were quickly defeated by small doses, but at some point in time the bacterial DNA underwent a mutation that made a particular Staphylococcus resistant to penicillin. Treatment with penicillin killed at of the other Staphylococci, which were sensitive, but the resistant bacterium survived and continued to divide giving rise to a growing colony of resistant bacteria. These mutant bacteria had a survival advantage, not only because they were resistant to penicillin, but also because they didn't have to compete with the sensitive bacteria for space and nutrients.

Multiple Choice

What is the main difference between the adaptation theories of Lamarck and Darwin?

• Lamarck's theory states that the environment causes individuals to adapt.

• Darwin's theory states that the environment selects the most adapted individuals.

• Both theories suggest that adaptation occurs through environmental influence.

• Neither theory accounts for environmental factors.

Multiple Choice

The dots represent a bacterial infection. Sal was very sick with this bacterial infection. The infection was treated with antibiotics. Sal seemed to get well, but in a few weeks, she was sick again. How can this be explained using natural selection?

• The antibiotics were ineffective to this strain of bacteria.

• Antibiotics will only kill a portion of the bacteria, no matter how much medicine Sal takes.

• The stronger, more resistant bacteria survived the antibiotics and reproduced.

• The antibiotics did not kill the bacteria; it only forced them to be dormant.
