Final Exam Review: Topic 2- Evolution

Why is the mouse population changing over time?

• The light mice can reproduce more successfully than the dark mice
• The hawks eat more dark mice than light mice because the dark mice taste better
• The hawks eat more light mice than dark mice because they can see the light mice more easily
• The hawks eat more dark mice than light mice because they can see the dark mice more easily

Why were the beaks on Darwin's finches so Important?

• They showed that the finches could mutate their beaks whenever they want.

• They showed variability in the finches species. All finches were equally adaptable to all islands.

• They show that the finches adapted to their environments. Their beak shape matched the food available on each island.
