What are three features that can observed in this population of frogs.
Number of toes, color pattern, size, color

___________is the number of individuals with each trait in a population, a ________ is a graph that uses bars to show how characteristics or values are distributed within a group
Distribution, histogram
100
Which histogram had the highest variation and which histogram had the greatest distribution of traits?
Highest variation was starting population, greatest distribution was the population after 50 generations.
100
Which poison levels became adaptative after 50 generations?
poison level traits 6-10 increased after 50 generations.
100
What is wrong with Sherman's thinking that moths became darker so they could blend in with their environment?
Moth's traits are inherited from their parents and those traits cannot be changed.
100
Which of the following items transmit UV light and reflect UV light.
transmit- none of the objects

Temperature went from warm to cold
200
Which moth had the adaptive trait in the city and which moth had the adaptive trait in the forest?
city- black moth
forest- salt and pepper moth

Whatis an event or process that leads to a result or change called, and what is a result or change that happens because of an event or process called?
cause, effect
200
Which colors are absorbed and which color is reflected by the apple?
orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet are absorbed and red is reflected
200

Name two features that make these butterflies different.
Color, color patterns
300
What were the three abiotic (nonliving factors) you can control in the simulation?
temperature, rainfall, surface color
300
What was the actual result of this modeling tool after we tested it in the sim?
Both populations died out.
300
What makes traits are adaptive or nonadaptive?
Environmental factors
300
Which poison levels were nonadaptive according to the histogram?
poison levels 1-5
300
What are three ways light can interact with objects?
absorb, reflect, transmit
300
What is the glue of the universe?
Gravity
400
What function does brown skin and an orange underbelly have for the rough skin newt?
Orange underbelly is a warning to predators that the newt is poisonous and the brown back helps the Newt camouflage with the forest floor.
400
What were names of the three organisms that live in the sim?
Carnithons, thornpalms, ostrilopes
400
What is the adaptive trait of the Western Screech Owl?
They use camouflage to blend in with trees.
400
In a yellow seven environment if there are no carnithons which fur level color will have the adaptive trait?
Fur level color has no advantage for any color ostrilope if there are no predators.
400
What is a trait called that makes it more likely that an individual will survive in a specific environment, and a trait that makes it less likely that an individual will survive in a specific environment.
adaptive, nonadaptive
400
What happens to ultraviolet light when it hits ozone in the atmosphere? sulfuric acid droplets? carbon dioxide?
Ozone- absorbed
sulfuric acid- reflects
carbon dioxide- transmit through
400
As the moon moves away from the sun it _______ and as it moves towards the sun it ________.
waxes, wanes
500
How is studying yeast advantageous to population biologists? Cite two reasons
1. Yeast multiply quickly
2. Biologists can control what happens in the Yeasts environment.
500
Which organism in the sim was a plant, a carnivore, and a herbivore?
plant-thornpalms
hebivore- ostrilopes
carnivore - carnithons
500
The Western Harvest mouse survive because of which two factors?
They only gather food on dark nights with little of no moonlight and camouflage all day in their nests to evade predators.
500
Based on this students prediction which water level traits will be adaptive and which will be nonadaptive, and how is that represented on the graph?
Water storage levels 6-10 will be adaptive and the bars will be taller on the graph, 1-4 will be nonadaptive and the bars will dissappear or be shorter.
500
Support or defend each claim and explain your reasoning?
Claim 1: Individual newts became more poisonous because they wanted to.
Claim 2: The newt population became more poisonous because of something in the environment.
Claim 1 refute- organisms cannot just change their inherited traits
claim 2 defend - Newts became more poisonous when snakes were introduced, because higher poison level newts were not eaten and could survive and reproduce.
500
What were the two reasons why people in Australia had a higher rate of skin cancer?
They have less melanin in their skin and because of ozone depletion.

What two factors determine the seasons.
The position of the Earth relative to the Sun and the Earth's tilt.
