Use the drop down menus to complete the statements Each organism in a population produces more offspring than can survive.

This is called (variation, adaptation, or overprotection)

In order for natural selection to occur, populations must have (variation, extinction, or predation)

When the environment changes, nature selects favorable (populations , adaptations, or extinctions)

Over time, these (decline, build up, or stay the same)

Simulating adaptations in a species in this activity, you will discuss in detail the adaptations in a species of rain forest plants. you will build a simulation that explains the changes in the traits of the plant population over 10 years. you will also establish a scientific explanation to justify the changes in the traits of the population, * time to complete: 1-2 hours part a an organism's adaptations are specific to its native environment. an organism that lives in a coniferous forest will have different adaptations compared to an animal that lives in a tropical rain forest. the following graphs show the temperature and precipitation throughout the year for two different forests: a coniferous forest in canada, and a tropical rain forest in belize. evaluate the graphs, and then explain why plants from these two ecosystems will have different adaptations. in your answer, explain the survival challenges that plants face in these two environments.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a serious condition caused by a recessive allele of a gene on the human x chromosome. the patients have muscles that weaken over time because they have absent or decreased dystrophin, a muscle protein. they rarely live past their twenties. how likely is it for a woman to have this condition? a) women can never have this condition.b) one-fourth of the daughters of an affected man would have this condition.c) one-half of the daughters of an affected father and a carrier mother could have this condition.d) only if a woman is xxx could she have this condition.
