2. More offspring are born than can actually survive
All of the following statements would be consistent with Darwin’s view of natural selection EXCEPT
More offspring are born than can actually survive
Individuals with traits favorable for survival are more likely to survive and reproduce
Traits are passed from parents to offspring
Mutations most often result in favorable traits that lead to increased rates of survival
Variations exist among members of the same species

3. Which of the following explains why bacteria such as staphlococcus aureus have become resistant to antibiotics?
Throughout their lifetime, the bacteria become accustomed to the antibiotics
The bacteria’s immune systems are able to adapt to and resist the antibiotics
Some bacteria born with mutations are resistant to antibiotics, survive, and reproduce
The bacteria become isolated from the antibiotics and are therefore unaffected by them

5. Mutation Genetic drift Migration Nonrandom mating Natural selection
A species of brown algae is widespread in the Atlantic Ocean. It was recently determined that populations of this species living north of the Topic of Cancer have fewer genes encoding heat-shock proteins than populations of the same species living south of the Topic of Cancer. This difference is most likely the result of

If a sample of 1000 moths was taken in 1962, how many moths would be heterozygous?
