True or False.
Low 2 was the mutation for Ostrilope fur height in the cold 1 environment Sim.
False.
Low 1, Low 3-10 were the mutations.
300
True or False.
The first claim we considered for the stickleback fish was that sticklebacks have less armor so that they can escape predators.
True.
300
True or False.
These are all examples of non-adaptive traits we studied in the Ostrilope Sims: High Fur, Blue Body Color, and Green Body Color.
False.
Low Fur was the non-adaptive trait in the Ostrilope Mutation Sim.

Which traits are adaptive in this ostrilope population? How do you know?
Green/Yellow 6, Yellow 7, and Yellow 8 are adaptive in this ostrilope population because after 10 generations all other ostrilopes have been killed by the carnithons.

These are all examples of this.
Genetic Disorders.

Describe the trend that we noticed in the Ostrilope Mutation Sim for fur height after 50 generations.
After 50 generations most of the Ostrilopes have the adaptive mutated traits High 5, High 6, and High 7 or After 50 generations there are no more Low 1 and Low 2 fur traits because those are non-adaptive. 
500
This is the claim that Evidence Card C supports.
Evidence Card C supports Claim 1 because stickleback fish do not have to be fast in their current environment to catch their prey.

FINAL JEOPARDY: Only teams with a positive score can answer and may wager up to their total score.
Use the words "cause" and "effect" to describe the change in the stickleback fish body armor we studied in the Science Seminar.
In the Science Seminar, the effect is that stickleback fish have less body armor and are faster swimmers and the cause of this change was the predators in the lake environment.
