Frogs living around a pond eat flies that are 3 mm in length. Flies range in size from 1 mm to 5 mm. The majority of the fly population is around 3 mm. Cold weather caused most of the 3mm flies to die off. What will happen to the population after this happens?
The flies will move to another environment
Fitness remains the same and the population continues to grow.
The species will diverge into two new species. One that eats small flies and one that eats large flies.
The flies will become extinct and the frogs will move to another pond

Investigation of the fossil record often indicates different organisms suddenly appearing with similar traits. One explanation for this would be ...
A change in the environment where similar genetic traits allow for a greater chance of survival.
The organisms are not closely related.
The fossil record can be misleading and erroneous finds like this are discredited.
The environment rarely changed so these organisms must be the same species but have non-random mutations.
