The following phrases are from a game of telephone. Which biology concept(s) does this illustrate? 1. 2. 3. 4. Dark forest Dark force Damp forest Dan put forest 10. A population of giraffes inhabits an area filled with tall trees and vegetation that is located high off of the ground. Within the population of giraffes are individuals with short, medium, and long necks. Which of the individuals will leave behind the most offspring? 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. 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) 14. Copy the statement and indicate if it is true or false Natural selection will occur more quickly when resources are limited 15. Copy the statement and indicate if it is true or false Natural selection will occur more quickly when populations reproduce slowly 16. Copy the statement and indicate if it is true or false Natural selection will occur more quickly when competition is minimal 17. Copy the statement and indicate if it is true or false Natural selection will occur more quickly when populations have many genetic variations 18. Write a one sentence summary for the following passage. • You are most likely aware that not every plant is adapted to survive in every ecosystem. Plants are specialists and thrive in environments that they are best adapted to, but could die in the wrong environment. A cactus would die in a wetland. A palm tree would freeze during a winter. 19. Indicate (Y/N) if the situation would cause natural selection to occur. • • • • Limited amount of food supply Decreased competition for mates Reduced material and space for shelter Increased fighting for resources 20. How is the organism in the picture adapted to its environment? 21. How is the organism in the picture adapted to its environment? 22. Explain how humans caused wolves to evolve into dogs. 23. Explain the following graph as it relates to natural selection and evolution. 24.

Within the population of giraffes are individuals with short, medium, and long necks. Which of the individuals will leave behind the most offspring? Long necks 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. 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) 14-17.

Write a one sentence summary for the following passage. • You are most likely aware that not every plant is adapted to survive in every ecosystem. Plants are specialists and thrive in environments that they are best adapted to, but could die in the wrong environment. A cactus would die in a wetland. A palm tree would freeze during a winter. • Plant populations adapt to survive in different environments. 19. Indicate (Y/N) if the situation would cause natural selection to occur. • • • • Limited amount of food supply Yes Decreased competition for mates No Reduced material and space for shelter Yes Increased fighting for resources Yes 20. How is the organism in the picture adapted to its environment? Spines protect from predators, no leaves (keeps in water), etc. 21. How is the organism in the picture adapted to its environment? Smell discourages predators, coloring discourages predators 22. Explain how humans caused wolves to evolve into dogs. People only bred wolves with traits they wanted (cuteness, tameness, etc). Over many generations wolves evolved into dogs. 23. Explain the following graph as it relates to natural selection and evolution. Choosing only large or small fish to remove from the tank changes the gene pool, which changes the average size of the fish over time. 24. Define inherited variation children have different characteristics than their parents and each other.
