Why do frogs and other organism reproduce so many eggs or offspring?

the more offspring the more likely some of the offspring will survive

so that their babies can have friends to play with

the more offspring the less likely offspring will survive

the more offspring the less competition

Why are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?

Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Because they come from dominant alleles.

Because they come from recessive alleles.

Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.

Which of the following environmental factors can put pressure on species?

the introduction of a new predator

Which of these sentences best describes the term "species"?

Individuals are members of the same species if they can mate and produce fertile offspring.

All members of a species are genetically identical.

Members of one species can mate with members of other species.

A single species cannot live in a variety of environments.

How does natural selection lead to evolution?

helpful variations accumulate among surviving members of the species.

stronger offspring kill weaker members of the species.

Overproduction provides food for stronger members of the species.

environmental changes favor weaker members of the species

The purpose of selective breeding is to

create animals with desirable traits

Which statement best describes the process of evolution?

The traits of a species can change over time

Populations can survive in different locations on earth

Environmental conditions limit the number of species on Earth

Populations grow when resources are abundant

Why did the population of peppered moths in England change from light to dark after the Industrial Revolution?

Light moths were easy to see against sooty trees and were eaten

Light moths were killed by soot

The birds that ate the dark moths were killed by soot

Dark moths were produced by industrial processes
