What determines the "fitness" of an organism?
How many offspring an organism has
How long an organism lives
How much weight an organism can lift
How fast an organism can run
Why did the dark green frogs start to outnumber the light green frogs?
The dark green frogs were easier to see, the predators ate them, therefore the light green frogs survived & reproduced
The light green frogs were easier to see, the predators ate them, therefore the dark green frogs survived & reproduced
The dark green frogs started attacking the light green frogs

Are negative
Have no effect
All of the above

Dark moths released into polluted forests would live longer than light moths, but die sooner in clean forests
Dark moths released into polluted forests would die sooner than light moths, but live longer in clean forests
What is the best explanation for the change in moth population over time?
Comparative anatomy
