24. C3 $100 The pests developed physiological adaptations to the insecticide.

25. C3 $200 Structures that have a similar evolutionary origin but are adapted for different purposes (bat wing, human arm, alligator arm)

27. C3 $300 When checking shell color for a species of snail found only in a remote area seldom visited by humans, scientists discovered the distribution of individuals that is shown in the graph in Figure 15-1. Based on the information shown in the graph, the snail population is undergoing _____. Figure 15-1

29. C3 $400 The flying squirrel of North America closely resembles the flying phalanger of Australia. They are similar in size and have long, bushy tails and skin folds that allow them to glide through the air. The squirrel is a placental mammal (carries its young internally), while the phalanger is a marsupial (has a pouch).

38. C4 $300 Punctuated equilibrium

39. C4 $400 Hawaiian honeycreepers are a group of birds with similar body shape and size. However, they vary greatly in color and beak shape.
