Use evidence to explain how variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing
A first look
This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.
Question 1 of 3
In a garden, most ladybugs are bright red, but a few are dark brown. A bird that eats ladybugs prefers the bright red ones because they are easier to see. Which ladybugs are most likely to survive and have babies?
Question 2 of 3
In a pond there are 120 fish. 45 of the fish have a striped pattern, 75 have a solid color, and none have both patterns. If one fish is chosen at random, what is the probability that it has a striped pattern?
Question 3 of 3
Scientists have found that ladybugs contain a bitter chemical that makes birds avoid them when they see a bright red color. In a garden, some ladybugs have bright red shells with black spots and others have dull orange shells with black spots. Which characteristic would most likely give a ladybug the greatest advantage for surviving when birds hunt for insects?
