Which flower produced the most nectar?
Which vision was the best for getting the most nectar?
Question
Which eyesight helped you collect enough nectar to survive in this meadow environment?
Answer
In the meadow, when I was a bee with I was able to survive because I could see the flowers that had the nectar I needed faster. Bees who are able to reproduce and pass on the vision that helped them survive. So, the vision type that increases survival will become common in a population.
In Meadow 2, bees with Vision 3 vision are more likely to survive. Just because a trait is helpful in one environment, does not mean it will be helpful in all environments. Whether a trait is helpful or harmful is ____________________ the environment.
In Meadow 1, the bees that had were most "fit" and in Meadow 2, the bees that had were most "fit"
Question
How does population diversity affect the bee colony's ability to survive as the meadow changes?
If the population diversity was , the bee colony only had blue bees. So when all of the blue flowers died, of the bees lost their food source, and the colony .
Question
How does population diversity affect the bee colony's ability to survive as the meadow changes?
If the population diversity was , the bee colony had blue, red, and purple bees. So when some of the flowers died, of the bees lost their food source, and the colony .
Question
How does mutation rate affect the bee colony’s ability to survive as the meadow changes?
Answer
Increasing mutation rate the number of vision types in the bee colony because when a baby bee was born, there was a chance it had a new vision type. So when some of the flowers died, the bee colony because it was more likely to have bees that still ate the flowers.
Question
How does reproduction rate affect the bee colony’s ability to survive as the meadow changes?
Answer
When more baby bees are born, there is a chance that one of them has a new vision type from a random mutation. So when some of the flowers died, the bee colony because it was more likely to have bees that ate the remaining flowers.
