A population of comb jellies has members that show two distinct traits. One part of the population has male comb jellies that use a complex bioluminescence pattern to attract females. Another part of the population has male and female comb jellies that produce light in quick flashes. A new animal that preys on comb jellies enters the area.
Using Table 1, which statement describes the most probable change in the comb jelly population over time due to the introduction of the new predator?
A
Only comb jellies whose genes mutate to no longer glow will survive and pass on this trait.
B
The comb jellies that have the most complicated patterns will survive to pass on this trait.
C
The comb jellies that are able to glow in quick flashes will survive and pass on this trait.
D
The two types of comb jellies will have an equal chance to survive and pass on their traits.
C
The comb jellies that are able to glow in quick flashes will survive and pass on this trait.

As trees grow over time, the trees form new cells in circles called annual growth rings. These rings show the amount of wood produced during one growing season or year, as well as the effects of different environmental conditions on the tree. The figure shows the growth rings for two different types of trees growing in the same forest area.
Which statements best explain the similarities and differences seen in the growth rings of these two trees?
Select the three correct answers.
A
Years with drought or very little precipitation most likely resulted in smaller tree rings.
B
Environmental conditions in this forest area were the same each year and resulted in consistent growth for both trees.
C
Different species of trees grow at the same rates when exposed to the same conditions.
D
Tree species A grew at a slower rate than tree species B.
E
Tree species A most likely received more water than tree species B.
F
Larger tree rings on one side of tree species B most likely resulted from more room to grow on that side of the tree.
A, E, F
