A. The cardinals’ food supply increased

A. The mutation is not present in the parent animals.

C. The mutation does not affect the expression of the

color trait.

B. The mutated gene is passed on during reproduction

D. The mutated allele is dominant over the parental allele.

The pictures above show a cow and a bull and their calf. All three have coats of the same colors. This calf developed from a zygote. During the development of the zygote, a

mutation occurred in a coat color gene. Which of the following best explains why the calf’s phenotype is the

same as its parents?

A. Population growth decreases as individual crabs get older.

C. The introduction of a new predator is causing a decline in population

growth of the crabs.

B. Destruction of habitat is causing a decline in the population of the crabs.

D. The population is stabilizing as it approaches carrying capacity.

A growth curve for a population of crabs on a coral reef is shown above.Which statement best explains what is happening at point A ?

Back to Board

D. The population is stabilizing

as it approaches carrying capacity.

A. Predators on the main island can easily migrate to follow

the populations to the other islands.

C. The physical separation of the islands limits gene flow and interbreeding

between the populations

B. Lack of disease on the other islands enables the populations

to grow and change without limit.

D. The climatic conditions of the islands allow the populations to breed all year and produce

several generations.

On island chains like the one shown below, animal populations that spread from the main island to the other islands can evolve into separate species.

A. isolate the virus responsible for smallpox

C. produce a vaccine against rabies

B. reject the theory of spontaneous generation.

D. convince people to cover food

The results of Pasteur’s experiment helped Pasteur to

B. reject the theory of spontaneous

generation.

A. so that water can easily be absorbed and carried to the rest of the plant

C. so that sunlight can easily penetrate to the leaf’s photosynthetic tissues

B. so that nutrients can easily enter the plant and be used

for structure and support

D. so that plants can easily find balance due to the symmetrical

nature of their branches

Why do leaves tend to be flat?

A. incomplete dominance of either the red or the white allele.

D. crossing over of the two alleles during meiosis.

C. dominance of the red allele over the white allele.

When red-flowered snapdragons are crossed with white-flowered snapdragons, all of the offspring have pink flowers. When these pink-flowered snapdragons are crossed, one-fourth of the F2 offspring will have red flowers, one-fourth will have white flowers and one-half will have pink flowers. This pattern of inheritance is most likely due to

A.density-dependent limiting factor
