About 70 years ago, cane toads were introduced to Australia. The toads are toxic to some species of snakes, such as Dendrelaphispunctulatus. The longer an individual snake is, the greater its chance of survival after eating a cane toad. Which of the following did scientists most likely observe in the D. punctulatus snake population as a result of the presence of the cane toads? A. The entire population was killed by the toads. B. The entire population became resistant to the toads. C. The average body length in the population increased. D. The average body length in the population decreased.
What is C. ?

Darwin studied finches, and their beaks. He noticed that variations of beaks (small, big, long, short) led to different species of birds. Why do you think that the birds beaks changed?
What is they needed different things to get food sources...Environmental pressures...

What is it will increase reproduction/increase in population? _Bonus--the native species will die out.

A mutation in an allele in an individual newt gave the newt faster reflexes. It is found that after many generations, most of the newt population has the new allele. Which of the following most likely caused this change. A. The newt gave its mutated allele to other adult newts. B. Other newts learned to copy the strategies of the mutated newt. C. The same mutation occurred in other newts as a result of environmental conditions. D. Newts with the mutation are better able to survive and reproduce than newts without the mutation.
What is D.?
