Question 4 (2 points)

Individuals have adaptations that can change over time.

Question 5 (2 points)
Which of the following statements is accurate about evolution?
Question 5 options:

Natural selection only eliminates odd individuals.

Evolution means that a population never has changes in its genetic frequencies.

Evolution means that a population undergoes changes in its gene frequencies over time.

Mutations are always harmful.

Question 6 (2 points)
Why are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?

Question 6 options:

Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.

Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Because they come from recessive alleles.

Because they come from dominant alleles.

Question 7 (2 points)
What is meant by the phrase “individuals don’t evolve”?

Question 7 options:

Some organism don’t have the ability to evolve and all survive as they are.

Question 8 options:

Natural selection caused moths with white wings to become extinct.

Natural selection favored moths with dark wings because predators could not see them on the soot-colored trees.

Question 9 (2 points)
What would happen if there were no predators in the forest? Would the colors of the moths change over time?

Question 9 options:

Yes, the color of the moths would change because soot would still affect the trees.

No, with no predators, there is no selection pressure against a particular color, so the percentages of dark and light moths would stay the same.

No, the mutation only happened in response to the presence of the soot. Without predators, the mutation wouldn't spread in the population.

Yes, different colored moths would compete and only one color would win.

Question 10 (2 points)
Which of the following is NOT an example of natural selection?

Question 10 options:

Bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics.

People selectively breeding dogs.
