HALPP I BEG OF YOU PLEASE HELP LOTS OF POINTS PLEASE 12. A population of Madagascar hissing cockroaches lives in a woodpile. The cockroaches are eaten by lizards. Because the lizards have small heads, the lizards are unable to eat the very largest adult cockroaches, and instead prey upon small and medium-sized adults. Over time, only the large-headed lizards survive.

d None of the above
13. Female birds that lay close to the optimum number of eggs have the most surviving offspring. Those that lay fewer or more eggs have lower relative fitness.

14. Black rabbits (BB) and white rabbits (bb) are both able to survive because they can camouflage into the white and black rocks in their environment. However, the intermediate gray rabbits (Bb) do not survive. This results in only white and black rabbits.

15. Small lizards have difficulty defending territories so they end up dying out. Large lizards are more likely to be preyed upon by owls. Over time, only medium-sized lizards end up surviving.

16. Women often have complications during labor while giving birth to very large babies, whereas very small babies tend to be underdeveloped. As a result, medium-sized babies are the ones that end up surviving to adulthood.

17. There are 3 populations of turtles. One population has a large shell, one population has a medium shell, and one population has small shells. To survive, turtles must have a large shell, to protect them from the turtle-eating predator. Over the next 100 years, the large shell turtles keep having babies, while the small and medium turtles slowly die. What type of Natural Selection is taking place?

18. In the JuJu forest, there are plenty of tall and short trees. The tall-neck giraffe has plenty of food, and produces many tall giraffe babies. The short-neck giraffe has plenty of food and produces many short giraffe babies. The average-neck giraffe has a serious problem because he cannot eat from the tall trees, nor can he eat from the short trees. What type of Natural Selection is taking place?

19. In the human population, people that are extremely skinny (anorexic) are having health problems. People that are extremely over-weight (obese) are also having health problems. People that are in the middle (average weight) seem to have the least amount of health problems. What type of Natural Selection is taking place?
