Multiple Select

Were your predictions about the fur trait distribution correct after running the simulation for 50 generations?

• Yes, my predictions matched the results

• No, my predictions did not match the results

• Some predictions were correct, others were not

• I am not sure

Multiple Choice

Which statement best explains why adaptive traits become more common in a population over many generations?

• Individuals with adaptive traits survive and reproduce more often.

• Adaptive traits are randomly distributed in each generation.

• Non-adaptive traits are always eliminated immediately.

• Adaptive traits are only found in certain populations.

Multiple Choice

Which description matches the histogram of the population 50 generations ago?

• Most of the newts had low-poison level traits; very few had high-poison level traits.

• Most of the newts had high-poison level traits; very few had low-poison level traits.

• All of the individuals in the population had high-poison level traits.

• None of the individuals in the population had high-poison level traits.

Multiple Choice

Which description matches the histogram of the population today?

• Most of the newts had low-poison level traits; very few had high-poison level traits.

• Most of the newts had high-poison level traits; very few had low-poison level traits.

• All of the individuals in the population had high-poison level traits.

• None of the individuals in the population had high-poison level traits.

Poll

Claim: Yellow color is always an adaptive trait in a yellow environment.

Do you agree or disagree with this claim?

• yes

• no

Open Ended

Which ostrilopes were more likely to survive and become more common in the population? Which ostrilopes were less likely to survive and become less common in the population? Explain what happened to the populations in both environments and why that supports or refutes the claim that yellow color is always an adaptive trait in a yellow environment.
