3.Peppered moths are eaten by birds. The moth color varies from light to dark. Light colored moths can blend in with a nearby species of tree. In the 1800s factories released large amounts of soot, which changed the tree color, so the birds were able to more easily find the lighter moths instead of the darker moths.

NATURAL SELECTION: THE CHANGE IN THE ENVIRONMENT FAVORS THE DARKER COLORED MOTH

This is an example of GENE FLOW: Specifically IMMIGRATION *the lioness enters a new population and breeds

6. A small group of birds flies from the mainland to an island and starts a new colony. (The birds never return to the mainland.)

This is an example of Gene Flow: Specifically THE FOUNDER EFFECT since the birds are “starting a new cololny”

11. Copy the following sentence with the correct answer choice. Natural selection happens (quickly/slowly) and occurs in (individuals/populations).

12. A brand of fire ant poison claims to kill all ants in two applications. The first application of the poison killed 74% of the fire ants. Three months later, the poison was reapplied but only killed 39% of the remaining fire ant population. Explain the decrease in the effectiveness of the ant poison.

Three months later, the poison was reapplied but only killed 39% of the remaining fire ant population. Explain the decrease in the effectiveness of the ant poison. The ants that survived the first poison passed on that trait to their offspring (natural selection).

13. Imagine that a small island holds a population of lizards that are all the same (have the same traits). Now imagine a strong storm sweeps some of the island lizards over to the mainland. On the mainland, there are new ecosystems for the island lizards to explore. In these new ecosystems, they meet new populations of lizards (with new traits) that they can now breed with. What might happen with regards to the variation that could be created within the population of island lizards? (more, less, no change)
