Exploring Trait Variation in Natural Selection

What type of graph is used by biologists to show variation in populations?

• Line graph

• Bar chart

• Histogram

• Pie chart

What does a taller bar in a histogram indicate?

• No variation of the trait

• Lesser quantity of the trait

• Moderate quantity of the trait

• Higher quantity of the trait
