Scientists studied the evolution of ancient organisms known as trilobites. An image of a trilobite is shown, and some of its body structures are labeled. Scientists collected fossils of one species of trilobite that were determined to have lived during a 2-million-year span. The scientists observed that, over time, the number of rings in the trilobites’ tails changed. The graph shows the results of this investigation.
Which labeled section of the graph represents a time when the environment where trilobites lived was changing rapidly?
Section W
Section X
Section Y
Section Z

East Texas has a wide variety of frog species that take advantage of different resources in the ecosystem, by eating different foods, choosing different ponds, and mating at different times of the year.
Part A
How does the biodiversity of frog species most likely affect the stability of the ecosystem?
By making the ecosystem more vulnerable to population losses
By increasing the ecosystem’s ability to stay healthy when conditions change
By reducing the ability of individual organisms to adapt to changing conditions
By making individual organisms less vulnerable to competition from invasive species

East Texas has a wide variety of frog species that take advantage of different resources in the ecosystem, by eating different foods, choosing different ponds, and mating at different times of the year.
Part B
Which statement best supports the answer to Part A?
When species are numerous, an alternative species may be able to fill the role of a species lost as a result of changing conditions.
When species have similar roles in an ecosystem, the loss of a single species can severely damage the ecosystem.
When species are well adapted to conditions in an ecosystem, a change in those conditions can cause multiple extinctions.
When species face competition from native organisms, they are poorly adapted to compete with invasive organisms for resources.

When a splinter pierces the skin, the body responds with an inflammatory reaction. A table describing the response to the injury is shown.
Which set of statements describes how body systems interact after an injury?
The immune system alerts the integumentary system that the skin has been broken. The muscular system increases the blood flow to the area, which causes swelling.
The integumentary system alerts the body that the skin has been broken. The immune system sends white blood cells to attack pathogens that enter the body.
The nervous system alerts the capillaries to increase the temperature at the site of the injury. The immune system releases water into the injured area to cool the area after the increase in temperature.
The immune system increases the temperature of the area to reduce bacterial growth. The circulatory system increases blood flow to cleanse the injury.

Peromyscus polionotus is a species of mouse found in inland fields as well as on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of the southeastern United States. Coastal populations of this species have lighter fur than inland populations, and coastal populations blend into a beach environment more easily than field mice do. Scientists investigated changes in two genes, Agouti and Mc1r, that are involved in fur coloration in this species. The table shows data from this investigation.
Which evidence would best support the claim that the phenotypes of these populations of mice are a result of natural selection?
A mutation in the same gene led to the coastal populations having the same coat color.
An allele for light coat color is more common in the coastal populations than the inland population.
The genes that code for a light coat color have been lost from the inland population.
The coastal and inland populations all share the same alleles for coat color.

The snowshoe hare often molts, or sheds its fur, during different seasons, going from a reddish brown to a white fur color.
The graphs show both the change in coat color in one population of snowshoe hares and the average snow coverage during two periods of the year.
Which statement best explains the data shown in the graphs?
Hares with seasonal changes in a fur color have a survival advantage and are more likely to successfully reproduce.
Hares change their fur color as a result of mating choice during the spring months.
Natural selection allows for mutations to occur during seasonal changes when food is abundant.
Hare fur color changes when sexual maturity occurs in the fall months.
