Students plan an experiment to determine whether fish exhibit different feeding behaviors when presented with food flakes of different colors. The students predict that fish will be able to see brightly colored flakes more easily and will therefore eat more of these flakes. This prediction most closely resembles a scientific _____________.
A theory
B hypothesis
C conclusion
D law
A female ground squirrel may send out a call warning her offspring that a predator is near. Often, the mother sacrifices her own life since the predator can move easily and locate her from the call. Even though this behavior results in death, it is beneficial to her in that ...........
A half of her alleles are preserved in each offspring.
B all of her alleles are preserved in each offspring.
C the predator may be less likely to attack the population again.
D the alleles that caused her behavior will no longer be in the gene pool.
This action illustrated above will most likely result in a response produced by the ......
A immune system.
B endocrine system.
C respiratory system.
D nervous system.
When a frog hunts, it catches its prey with one flick of its long, sticky tongue. Energy obtained from eating the insect that is not stored in newly made body structures is..........
A converted into sugars.
B converted into fats and stored for later.
C recycled within the frog.
D lost to the environment as heat.
E passed on to its offspring.
Which of the following best illustrates natural selection?
A Primates that don't use a tool to get more food are less likely to be eaten by predators.
B Primates that don't use a tool to get more food have more time to breed.
C Primates that use a tool to get more food are more likely to survive and reproduce.
D Primates that use a tool to get more food are more likely to eat too much.
Review Question: Use the tabe above to answer this question. In a hypothetical rabbit species, females prefer to mate with brown males over gray males. Fur color is a trait controlled by one gene that can occur in a dominant form (F) or a recessive form (f). A gray female mates with a gray male and both of the parents are heterozygous for fur color. They produce a brown male offspring. How is this possible?
A Since brown fur is preferred by females, male offspring are more likely to be brown.
B During fertilization, a mutation for brown fur color formed.
C There was a 25% chance of a homozygous dominant offspring.
D There was a 25% chance of a homozygous recessive offspring.
