If we conducted an experiment on our Caribbean Anoles where Tree/Crown Anoles with bigger toe-pads were taken from the tops of the trees and moved to an environment with only Grass/Bush habitat where lizards typically have longer tails, what might we predict will happen to the lizards over many generations?
The toe-pads might get smaller and/or the tails might get longer.
(Big toe-pads is an adaptation of the Tree/Crown, and long tails is an adaptation o the Grass/Bush Anoles.)

A ringing bell makes noise inside a glass jar. Then the air is removed from the glass jar using a vacuum pump. When all of the air leaves the jar, the sound of the ringing bell can no longer be heard. Which of the following best explains why the students can no longer hear the bell?
Sounds needs a medium (the air) to travel. When the air was removed the sound couldn't be transmitted to the studnets ears.

A population of a certain kind of fish is introduced into a new habitat. These fish have variations in color from light to dark. Because of the lighting conditions and predators in this new habitat, light colored fish survive better near the surface and dark-colored fish survive better near the bottom.
What change would likely result after many generations of these fish living in this environment?
There would be two populations of fish, light-colored near the surface and dark-colored near the bottom. (Like the lizard ecomorphs)
