The red frog was bred with the blue frog to create a hybrid purple frog species. The purple frogs quickly outcompeted the others, dominating the ecosystem in less than two months.
Compared to the parental species, these hybrids
Are more likely to die from diseases
Can survive in extreme conditions
Have more adaptations due to reduced genetic diversity
Have more adaptations due to favorable being traits passed on

As a scientist, we learned that some organisms have this trait in order to ___________________________.
Force offspring to compete for limited resources
Increase odds of allele recombination
Increases gene flow through natural methods
Increase probability that more offspring will survive to reproduce
Taxonomy is

Organisms that have more taxa in common are said to have _________
More characteristics in common
Less characteristics in common
