DAILY DOUBLE: A concentrated area of major, long-term volcanic activity fed by a rising plume of magma. This area can cause landmass changes within a tectonic plate and is not necessarily associated with a plate boundary. The island of Hawai'i is a classic example.

Selection

100

A population of green-colored grasshoppers lives in a valley. Because of their body color, the grasshoppers can hide in the green grass of the valley to avoid predators. Due to changes in average precipitation, the grass in the valley starts to turn brown. This continues for several years. The green-colored grasshoppers are now easily visible to predators.

Which characteristic would best allow the grasshopper population to adapt to this change?

 A. a higher ratio of females to males in the population

 B. genetic variation within the population

 C. the ability for the population to migrate

 D. the ability to reproduce asexually

B

200

__________ selects traits in artificial selection

Caleb is playing baseball outside. When he hits the ball with the bat, the bat applies a force to the ball. At the same time, the ball applies an equal force to the bat. Which of Newton's laws does this best represent?
