The environment around Manchester, England, changed during the Industrial Revolution. How did this change affect peppered moths living in the area?

Natural selection favored moths with dark wings because predators could not see them on the soot-colored trees.

Natural selection favored moths with white wings that were easy for predators to see.

Natural selection favored moths with white wings because predators could not see them on the soot-colored trees.

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.

The opossum and kangaroo both incubate their young in a pouch. This provides evidence that they---

are descended from a common ancestor

Have very similar skeletal structures

A. Natural selection has rapidly increased the number of species that are resistant to pesticides

A. Natural selection has not affected the number of species that are resistant to pesticides

A. Natural selection has only affected the number of species that are resistant to pesticides

showing we all needed gills to live in the womb

showing evolution is a quick process

Evolution can be described as

Every member of a species dying
