Scientists are studying the evolutionary history of a group of plants in the United States, and they developed an evolutionary tree, as shown below.Which statement can be inferred from the evolutionary tree?

Species 2 is most closely related to Species 3.

Species 3 is most closely related to Species 7.

A large herd of goats lives in a field full of poison ivy. Some goats are able to eat the poison ivy while others have become sick when they eat it. Over time the herd as a whole will tend to

Become more likely to eat poison ivy.

Become less likely to eat poison ivy.

Not change in the proportion of goats that can and can not eat poison ivy.

Eat all the poison ivy and leave only plants all the goats can eat.

Darwin observed many finch species on the Galapagos Islands. To explain these observations, he proposed that each species evolved from the same common ancestor, which was a finch species that migrated to the islands from the mainland. What additional evidence did Darwin use to support his explanation?

The finch species lived in different habitats on different islands, which isolated them from one another.

The finch populations were very numerous, and different species often bred with one another.

The finch species were distributed evenly among all of the islands, but did not interbreed.

The beaks of the finches were identical, allowing them to eat the same foods on any of the islands.

The graphs below show the changes in crab color at one beach. Which of the following is most likely to have caused the change in the distribution?

A change in beach color made medium-tan crabs the most visible to predators.

A new predator arrived that preferred dark-tan crabs.

A new predator arrived that preferred light-tan crabs.

A change in beach color made medium-tan crabs the least visible to predators.

In flowers, 2 pink (RW) flowers are crossed. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring?

50% pink (RW); 25% white (WW); 25% red (RR)

An organism will survive no matter what its adaptations may be

An organism with adaptations that do not allow it to reproduce as effectively as others will survive.

ability to survive and reproduce in a specific environment

organisms with traits well suited to their environment survive and reproduce at a greater rate

a growing population causes a scarcity of resources
