Which of the following explains the genetic variation in this image?
a)
The animals whose DNA codes for tall height are able to reach the food, eat, survive, reproduce, and pass on their tall genes. The shorter animals starve to death.
b)
Over time, the advantageous allele for tall height will build up in this population while the not helpful allele for short height will decrease in this population. If there is no further change in the environment, the population will eventually be mostly tall.
c)
There is a variety of heights in this population of animals.
d)
There was a drought this year and the vines of the fruits are not growing as long as they normally do. Consequently, the fruit is hanging much higher than usual.

a)
A. evolution
b)
B. natural selection
c)
C. meiosis
d)
D. hybridization
10.

b)
B. Some members are better suited for competition.
c)
C. Limited resources put limits on population growth.
d)
D. Variation in individuals is not inheritable.

14.
A female giraffe with a short neck has to really stretch to reach the leaves of taller trees. According to the theory of natural selection, which of the following is most likely to happen?
a)
A. The giraffe stretches her neck to reach the taller trees, helping her produces offspring that all have longer necks.
b)
B. The giraffe has offspring with varying neck sizes and those with longer necks survive to produce more young of their own.
c)
C. The giraffe has offspring that are all born with short necks, and the trees around them will adapt by growing shorter.
d)
D. The giraffe cannot survive without reaching the leaves from taller trees and will not survive to produce offspring.
