A doctoral student is studying the genetic makeup of a species of jellyfish that occurs at low, middle, and high latitude regions of the Pacific Ocean. On an oceanographic expedition, she collects specimens of the jellyfish throughout its range. Upon returning to the laboratory at the university, an assistant places all of the jellyfish in an aquarium with an average temperature of approximately 20°C. After a few days, he notes that almost two-thirds of the jellyfish have died. Using the figure below, how would you explain which jellyfish likely make up the bulk of the survivors and what the mistake was? (3 points) Image shows a world map that is shaded to depict temperatures. The regions shaded black have a temperature range between -4 to 12 degrees Celsius. Regions shaded light gray indicate a temperature range between 12.1 and 24 degrees Celsius. Regions shaded dark gray indicate a temperature range between 24.1 and 32 degrees Celsius.

Group of answer choices

The survivors were likely from the black areas of the map, but adapted to the difference in temperature in the laboratory.

The survivors were likely collected from the light gray areas of the map. Those from other regions could not adapt.

The survivors were likely from the black areas of the map, but had the most advantageous genes of those collected.

The survivors were likely collected from the dark gray areas on the map. Those from other regions could not adapt.
