Objective: SWBAT analyze histograms in order to explain how mutations can influence changes in trait distribution within populations.

Do Now: 

Question 1

1.

(Left: generation 1; Right: generation 50)

Were the changes in traits from generation 1 to genreration 50 due to a mutation or natural selection? Explain using evidence from Generation 1 and Generation 50.

(Think: what traits were present in the first generation (9 and 10)? 2nd generation 5-10)?)

Question 2

2.

At Time 1, the Antarctic eelpout lived in warmer water. When land masses moved millions of years ago, the water became colder. Time 2 represents some time after the environment changed. Time 3 represents many generations after the environment changed. Review the histograms below.

Question 3

3.

Did mutations affect which trait was the most common at Time 3? Why or why not? Add annotations to the histograms to help you answer this question. Then, write an explanation about your annotations below. Use all of these words in your explanation:

CFS:
accurately identifies the adaptive trait in the environment
accurately identifies traits based mutations or natual selection
accurately describes the environment in which a trait is adpative
accurately describes how adaptive traits become more common in an environment

"I think that a mutation (did/did not) occur in the graph above.
I think this because ... "
I think that level (1,2,3,4,5, or 6) became most common because ...
I know that this trait became most common because the environment became ....

(Think: what traits were present in the first generation? 2nd generation? 3rd generation?)
